I've seen many shock dyno's at not once has has aftermarket damper's valving matched the oem. There's no reason to go with any aftermarket damper with a Bimmer, since BMW developed the oem shocks, and Sach's (ZF Sachs) manufacture's them.

If you're really obsessed with Bilstein you can buy one new front and rear oem damper, dyno them, and then have Bilstein revalve the bilstein shocks to oem specs.
