Installed BC Coilovers for 2011-2012 M37
I finally jumped the bullet and got my BC Coilovers.
Install was simple with the exception of the adjustments to a good height on them.
I was amazed with how low or high it can really go. My first test drive was with a low setting and at 0 setting for dampening which caused the top of the control arm to hit the body of the car... raised it another inch and no problems at all.
driving and playing with the dampening was the key. After a good 10 minutes of R&D I found my perfect settings for a luxury drive with only a slightly stiffer drive than with my Eibach springs on.
I think BC Coilovers hit the target on this one with the great comfort. I just wish I did them sooner.
STOCK HEIGHT
W/ EIBACH LOWERING PROKIT SPRINGS (1.2"front drop, 0.8" rear)
(NOTE: the eibachs worked great and did what they claimed of the ride lowering.... I just like to be slammed)

have a potential buyer already
I only have it at #14 of #30 dampening in the front, and #12 of #30 in the rear.... rides actually smooth considering how low I am. It's stiffer than stock but not a harsh ride like a M5's suspension....consider it more like the E63 AMG's suspension -- still comfortable enough to drive daily on a NYC bumpy road.
and I still have another 1" of dropping power to go (right is stock M37s)
