My 2cents
^^^ counterintuitive advice right here.

If you're spending the $$ for an OEM setup, get it installed by the dealer.

Otherwise, just buy the coilover options from HR or Bilstein (whatever is on tirerack.com for our F30's) and have it installed by an aftermarket specialist.

The M Performance suspension isn't the be all end all, it's an OEM option that lets you enjoy your car more with the OEM warranty. Why save 25% when 5 years down the line, if the shocks need to be replaced for whatever reason, you'll be stuck with the bill?
