Best suspension mod for 335i xDrive ?

It seem like the stock 335i xDrive suspension is less than ideal.

I get this sensation that the car is leaning too much during turns. It doesn't help that xDrive e90s ride higher than non xDrive models.

One thing I don't want to do is make the ride harsh. I prefer my fillings in my teeth.

Any ideas on how to improve the handling ?

Bilstein B8 or Koni Yellow struts/shocks
Eibach Pro-kit or Dinan springs if you want to lower it a bit.

Dinan will lower your less than .5"
Eibachs about 1", a little more in front.
Both are considered mild drops.

A cool package would include Dinan springs, (koni yellow or billy) struts/shocks, with dinan camber plates and otherwise stock hardware -- where the front is assembled and shipped so the DIYr doesn't even have to mess with spring compressors!!!
