Mixing oem and aftermarket shocks is about the worst thing you could do for performance. BMW has among the best chassis engineers in the world, and suspension on all their vehicles is developed very acutely. Go with OEM all around.

I agree with never mixing shocks. Whatever you go with, be sure to use the same shocks all around. It just isn't safe to do otherwise.
Just curious why you wouldn't consider Bilsteins vinuneuro? They are designed to last a little longer than average and give a slightly firmer ride. What's wrong with that? I have had them on my 325i for over 100k and they still work great.
My personal opinion would be to go for the Bilsteins.
