My Ride: 2008 Alpine White 550i Sport, Cream Beige Interior, 6-Sp Manual - retired 9/2011
Congrats....hope the ride stays nice like it is now. 
I thought mine drove nice for the first few weeks also....but then...
I'd love for you to take a peek at the struts in front and poke around the stops to see if they can be pushed up & down....give it a try one day and report back.
Let us know how it rides in a few months from now...
Looks great!

Your running on stock shocks non sport? Thats gonna cause some damage down the line.
I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, that will be my excuse for coils. H&R says they are designed to be used with the factory XI shocks. I have paid $300 cdn total for springs and install, that fits the budget very well right now.
