Coilovers are likely in my near future and these are my main goals:
a) no harsher ride than stock, while on soft settings.
b) major improvement on track (less lean on corners, better grip), while on "race" settings.
I'm sure the answer is not as simple as "yes, do it and you'll achieve both".
I'll keep reading and look forward to your next update!

I actually like the ride better than the OEM setup. BMW uses a progressive spring in the rear of the car and going with almost any aftermarket setup gets you onto a Linear spg setup. I've used several brands on twin tube and mono tube shocks in the past. Love the Koni's because they are very durable even here in the Northeast. I put 85K on a set when I had a E36M3 and never had to have them rebuilt. Try that on some of the more expensive shocks. No way...They also are a great value all in for under $3K and the camber plates are included.
