Some one already said it but I recently did koni yellows and HR OE sport springs for mine. On the koni "stock ride hight" setting it sits nice and is a very comfortable ride since the HR springs lower it to a classy level without bottoming out ever.
I had Bilstein B8s with Neuspeed Sport springs and the damping is way better, and adjustable with clicks at the base of the shocks, with B16s even though the spring rates are significantly higher. B8/NSS were bouncy in comparison over expansion joints, etc.
I did koni orange shocks with eibach pro springs - been dailying it for 5 or so years. It sits about 1in lower than stock.
I went with Koni Super active as an "upgrade" from oem and I'm very happy with those.
Bilstein shocks will dramatically transform the on road experience
The answer is always the same. Bilstein 5100.
I have mildly upgraded shocks (koni active) but otherwise stock and the ride quality is pretty good
Get factory msport springs and Bilstein B6s and roll on. The springs will give the car a slightly more aggressive look than base E91 hight while still giving each corner plenty of travel. The B6s will give you a tight, yet smooth ride.
I'm running Bilstein on the rear with the quadralift airbags. Seems to be a decent match.
Had my local shop install some OEM style Bilsteins in my truck, the shocks that come with the higher trim level, no lift or anything. This is what they sent me home with after the top not started backing off.
