Depends on your priority:
1. If you are sensitive to body roll? Then Eibach first
2. If you want more pleasure of the fun factor? Then MPE

Yeah the floaty body roll ride does get to me especially after getting mppk installed. I feel like the ride is missing the tightness.

Definitely do the springs...

MPE is BULLSHYTE! You can get the same effect by coding the exhaust valve to be always open with a preset in a free app (BimmerLink). I wish I knew this before I bought my MPE!

Flaps wont always be open you would need to open them up everytime you start your car unless I configured it wrong and they sound nothing alike the material that's inside the muffler is different. I ended up just getting the mpe and it definitely sounds better and gets louder after it's broken in and that's without mppk.

Yes unless you unpower the flap fuse you would need to open it up everytime with bimmerlink, try a search think Ive heard someone got red flagged anything exhaust related because they left the flap open during a visit to a dealer.
