Just curious for those with coilovers, what setup do you run or recommend? Thinking about BC racing ones, run about $1,000. The KWs are pretty much double. Thanks guys
Sure is. I have them on the stiffer side and it works with my setup. On full soft, the ride feels stock. Out of the box they come set pretty stiff and low. Here's a pic with them on my car with 20" wheels. The rear is max height and front is set a little lower.

Car looks kicka$$. Love the wheel and tire combo. Sits nice!

Looking nice man! Where did you end up getting the rear control arms from? Did you pay for the install or did it yourself?
I had BC Racing BR series on my 2000 540i a few years back, and they were really good. Honestly better than the KW V3s I have on my other car right now, all things considered. For the price, you can't beat them Ride quality was excellent. So much so that after a while I basically forgot there were coilovers on the car. I liked them so much I recently ordered a set of them for my E55 Wagon. Had to get them to piece together a kit, which they call a "hybrid" which has the front suspension from the E55 kit and the rear from a E350 wagon in order to properly fit, I hope. Will report back once I get them installed.

Good to hear. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the BR series set soon. Haven't driven the E55 for almost a month now!
Received my BC Coilovers yesterday and super stoked to get them installed. However, having a hard time finding the (2) rear lower control arms from a W211 E350. Anyone?

I believe the part number for the rear control arm is 2113501806. You might want to double check on that though. I found a set on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/283496493154.
