Initial 40 miles impression is very positive: the rear feels much more stable over bump at I-95 / NYC street. Ride is tighter it feels almost the same as 2017 330i xdrive over the same 40 miles drive. It also improves the steering response the whole car feels more lively at slow speed (similar to LCI 4 series). There is no change in amount of body roll during hard corning (as expected) but it feels more confident inspiring / less body roll for highway overtake (quick left -> right / right -> left move).
Going to install B6 front struts + AC Schnitzer Springs to complete the upgrade in the next 1-2 weeks.

Definitely let us know how the feeling progresses with those new fronts and springs! I'm glad it made such a difference for you, my feelings on the upgrade are absolutely in line with the examples you provided. It is way more confidence inspiring when you're tossing it around, the damping in the rear is substantially improved, it keeps the whole track of the car more stable in pretty much every condition.
