Ya know I was looking around for anyone with some real reviews of the kw3's but I didn't find much, I'll probably just give the eibachs a shot

I put KW V3’s on my 2015 50i (rear air). Makes a huge difference in handling and flatness around corners. Big improvement with both my stock 19” rims with snows and my 21” Vorsteiner summers. The fact that they are adjustable for compression and rebound is helpful, you can dial them in for your ride preference.

Does upgrading the suspension parts significantly improve/tighten the steering feel also or just reduce body roll/mush?

Check out Silvers coilovers. I read a review about them floating around on the boards. Sound pretty promising. About $1000. Will be the direction I'll go if I end up with an F15

Bump. My wife's 2015 50i M sport (standard suspension) feels like a boat and has 20" wheels with ContiDWS. Steering feels like and suspension feel spongy. Would love to change this.

The set isn’t cheap, but it’ll fix your issues with the X5. There is a cheaper option, silver-something but I have only seen one forum member post a review of it.

Yea that's the set I was referring to. I think it's worth a try based on the review out there
