Suspension options

[Simon 3.2M]

Looking for advice on suspension options for the coupe. Currently the cars has Bilstein B14s? on that are 2 years old but I think the top mounts are shot as is feels “lose” and clunky at the front. The stance plus seem to get decent reviews but many say BC are the best option below 1k. I think the suspension bushes need refreshing overall so there’s work to be done. What are peoples thought s on the forum, stance, BCs or new mounts etc?

I would do all the bushes and pivot points etc first as the Bilsteins you have are not that old and if mounting points are worn then this is not helping , after doing this if it is still not to your liking then change the shocks etc.

Sort the bushes and top mounts first, the bilsteins are probably alright. Polybush lollipops would be a good move, even better if you go for eccentric bushes

As above, B14 Bilsteins are good and unlikely to be dead after only 2 years of service.

As above, your problem is likely to be tired front suspension bushes and the rear wishbone bushes would be my 1st things to inspect. The outer ball joints are also rather difficult to check, I thought mine were OK until I had it up in the air and could get a lever under the wheel to check for play. Drop links seem to be very regular service items on BMWs...they create nice knocking noises!
