You should also look at anti-sway bars to keep the body roll to a minimum. They have a minimal effect on the ride quality but tightens things up in the corners.
I am looking into that also. I would like to see how my ride would be with the new set up. I decided to go with Eibach springs and Bilstein Sport shocks. I hope cornering improves to a point where I don't need anti-sway bar. But if it doesn't then I will put in the sway bars. Thanks for the advice.

Al, the Springs are shipping out today via FedEx. Turns out USPS was about the same price and 7 days vs. 4 days through FedEx.

My Ride: 2005 545i Ti Silver sport/premium package logic 7 M tech Bumper,H&R Sport Springs OEM 166 Wheels
Get the H&R sport spring, just got mine and I couldn't be more pleased. The ride is a little more firm but sporty still smooth and much better cornering. Your car will look handle and corner better.
