Family member has a f30 with b8s and I've had countless cars on stiff coilovers. I ended up doing koni orange (str.t) and Hr springs. Feels like a click above fresh factory suspension. Tight and responsive but never jarring. Iirc koni yellows on a lower setting can achieve the same feeling.

Pros: tight and responsive
Cons: never jarring
Vehicle: BMW

I have the entry level E46 Ground Control setup that includes Koni shocks. It's a vastly superior ride to the bilstein PSS kit I had before this but the kit is not perfect

Pros: vastly superior ride
Cons: kit is not perfect
Vehicle: BMW

Koni yellows are adjustable to suit your preferences. Bilsteins are not. Both are high quality and arguably an improvement over the stock (Sachs probably) dampers. I run my Koni yellows on full soft and they’re very comfortable.

Pros: very comfortable
