I just put H&R springs on my 2008 535xi.

At 86,000k my Sachs are still good. Are you sure yours need replacing?

Depends on the kind of ride you're looking for. I replaced my OEM Sachs with Bilsteins at 125,000 miles on my '07 530xi and wished I'd stayed with the Sachs. I found they provided a smoother ride.
