on another note, I don't think you should be installing just springs with the non-zsp shocks unless you want to speed up the wear and tear on the shocks. try looking into a coilover system or a full upgrade of springs with aftermarket shocks.

+1

I've heard this as well. Makes me too concerned, otherwise I would've already bought the springs..

Just paid $300 for eibach's to be installed, but the shop I went to is a subaru shop. I'd expect a shop that knows BMW's to charge less since they could probably do it faster.

I can tell you that I have been actively looking into this and the lowest quote I got was for $300. The highest was $700!!! Remember that they will have to do your wheel aligment as well when you put in new springs. I have also decided not to do the straight spring upgrade so I am saving for a coilover or shock/spring kit. The installation costs the same btw whether you are putting in just springs or coilovers.
