yes the m-performance susp is $1500. coilovers are lighter and some cost less but good coilovers (ohlins, AST, etc) cost a lot more than $1500. i also prefer with top hats such as tc kline and cks which also cost more. i wasn't interested in anything too low and fussing with ride height, ride/handling settings, numerous alignments. the m-perf is just a "one and done", "works good lasts long time" (hopefully) kind of thing.
How is the ride quality with m-performance suspension? Would you rate the stiffness and handling as good as E90 suspension, E90 M3 suspension or F80 M3 suspension or below these three, if you have driven or sat in any of these generation cars?

I don't have much experience with m-perf or various coilovers but I am pretty sure, I would not keep on adjusting the coilovers on regular basis if I install one. I just want a system which I can install and forget. Also, is it possible to get m-perf suspension cheaper than $1500 as its been few years since it came out?

Lastly, how much did you end up paying for the installation? Dealer or other shop?

Thanks!
