I just did a full rear refresh with the B4s and like them. Feels just like OE, even with the small lift I have on my E53. I guess that is the point of the B4's - OE ride? I definitely didn't want a firmer ride. I need to do the struts, bushings, etc., the whole schmeer up front too and would love to have the yellow Bilstein color, but I think the B4s only come in black.

I've so far found that springs for the E53 are BMW only and pretty pricey unfortunately, if you dont want to go the ultra cheap chinese parts. Maybe I'm missing an OE mfr for the front springs tho.
