i love the oem ride. i have a 550i with sport package.
are there any aftermarket stuts that ride like oem? and would they be better? seem like the oem struts are aluminum. are the aftermarket steel?

because they are a high quality strut that has been proven in race/daily driving applications. the oem ones are also very expensive and the konis are a great alternative. i believe all struts are hydraulic.
