Thanks. I was planning to buy new OE top hats/RSM as it does not look like the Bilstein set up come with them from pics and only $16 ea for front and $21 ea for rear (Lemforder). I have all the tools needed and even a quick jack, but if I can get it done professionally for ~$800 I'll pay it to save the hassle. I was able to get the local BMW dealer service writer to "price match" and do H&R springs a rear sway and an alignment on my 2013 535i for $800 a few years ago... he was also also an enthusiast...
