I'm not saying you are incorrect or lying, I'm just saying that tens of thousands of people have Eibach springs that giving mild drop on their vehicles
The bmw tech took a picture of the leaking from the strut. I only have 20k miles on the car. He warned me this would probably happen, and sure enough it did. Hopefully others have better luck!

I dropped my e92 M years ago without issue and have dropped plenty of other BMWs and Porsches and this is a first for me. The thought did cross my mind to just replace with OEM struts (since I would like to maintain the EDC) but I run the risk of them blowing out again and I don’t want to be out the labor multiple times. One thing is certain: I am not going back to the OEM springs as the first five months on the lowered Eibachs was pure joy.
