OEM Shock and Strut Longevity With Aftermarket Springs

Hi All,

I'm looking into getting aftermarkets springs for my 2011 550i with 54K miles on it. I was wondering if anyone has run into issues with the integrity of the oem shocks and struts over the years of continued use. Reason why I am asking is because I originally put H&R springs on my E39 at around 50K miles and it seemed that overtime (2 to 3 years) the shocks and struts started to deteriorate thus needing to go with Bilstein's. Given that I have the M-Sport package with EDC and ARS suspension should I be concerned with the longevity while on H&R's or even ACS springs?

Thanks in advance...
