nothing really you can do to match feel of 335i... what you can do is...
get sway bars to make it stiffer when you steer the car and reduce roll
and bounciness is probably due to your strut is bad and needs to be replaced...

Where can I locate a BMW tuner shop in the DC Metro area? Would like to check out a shop and get some quotes on parts and labor. Getting back aches from my daily ride, need to see what can be done with the car and probably ride in some modded cars to get an idea of what I want to do.

How much do Bilstein or Koni Yellow shocks run for? I've heard Koni yellows run well with Eibach lowering springs. But it seems for that price, you might as well just hunt for a used of coilovers. KWv3 or KWv2 or Bilstein PSS9/10 I've seen run around here for $1,000-$1,300 which is a killer deal.

KW coilovers are the best on the market right now. Variant Two
Coilovers gonna go outside the budget. Not looking to make it a 335i, but want to improve the ride as the shocks are worn. At least for what I like to feel.
