I've used Aerosports which is on the cheaper end with no major issues but see your point about matching it up to the X's suspension ride.

I never said it couldn't be done? "Better" is just a hugely relative term....it really depends on what you plan to get out of the whole thing.
The point I was trying to make was that the difficulty of maintaining ride consistency between front and rear increases beyond the ideal when you start playing around with that stuff... making it not worth the time unless you plan to go all out on custom dampers as well. In keeping with the German engineering philosophy, it would probably be safe to assume that the valving inside the factory dampers are tuned to work with the characteristics of the air spring BMW used and/or vise versa. Simply changing out the air spring is only part of the equation.
In regards to the front bottoming out, it was directed more to the OP of this thread, as his front wheel looked tucked from the pics he posted.
