340i X-Drive Coilovers

I've been looking at suspension upgrades for my 2017 340i X-drive with adaptive suspension. I've seen the BR racing and Bilstein ones but i'm not too sure if those are the way to go i'm kinda new to suspension upgrades. Also don't know if I wanna keep the adaptive suspension and buy some coilovers that are compatible or just delete it. I wanted a new feel to the car and feel good when taking street corners. I'm not planning to track the car at all but spirited driving on streets. My budget is no more than 2k but I wanted to hear other suggestions and or recommendations or tips you guys have thanks!

Hi there
I'm on the edge of buying a set of KW DDC's for my 435d X-drive.
Would not delete the active option.

if retaining OEM adaptive. Eibach 5-22 springs, F80 bumpstops and possibly Dinan Shockware if you want the damper a step firmer than OEM Adaptive.

if deleting adaptive altogether with passive coilovers, KW V1.

You can get them with the EDC delete kit. There's not a lot of options if you want to retain full OEM adaptive.
I have the EDC on mine as well and I'll be ditching them as I always ride around in sport mode anyways.

Keep in mind, for your 2k budget. You should replace some other parts as well. Top hats, strut mount washers, strut mount bolts etc. It will be an additional $~350+ depending on which route you go plus install and an alignment afterwards
