Spring selection

Hi all,

I've read a lot on the forum about springs and I'm still in the selection mode with a couple questions.

I have a 2006 3.0si model with sport mode (which I don't know if that makes a difference in spring selection). I have found Eibach, H&R, Tein, and B&G offering springs. I haven't found that they list my exact car, the 06' SI model. Typically up to 05' or 06-on "M" series.
Are they typically the same spring replacement? Is my car different?

From what I've read most people if upgrading springs and not coilovers have been running Eibach with Koni's and are happy. H&Rs offer a slightly lower ride height and maybe a slightly different stiffness. I haven't seen any comments about the Tein or the B&G...

Also, regarding coilovers. Again, is the 06' SI model different if looking to go that direction?

Thanks in advance,
Newbie to BWMs...

I would go with coilovers, but you need to let us know your goals for the car?! comfort? sportier? what?? so we can help you better.
