On the flip side, if your dampers have done some miles and are a bit tired, and you're keeping the car, now is the time to change them. New dampers from BMW, especially the adaptive variety, aren't cheap either
I can't place it, but it does sound strangely familiar

I like your thinking - this being a maintenance issue, rather than a frivilous upgrade. Far easier to justify to the other half. It's a fair point though - if dampers need replacing, it makes sense to fit proper ones.
