thx for the vote DC!

what setting are yours at? sounds like it is best to start with the softest setting and adjust from there depending on desired ride quality?

+1 on koni yellow sport adjustable shocks! I have my front to 1 full turn, and in the back i have it at 1 full turn and a half. I set it and forgot it haha, havent adjusted yet in the back becase its a pain in the arse because it has to be fully compressed and out of the car to adjust the rebound and compression.

I also have koni yellows on my z4c non m. It drives great with stock springs. I have them set almost full stiff front and back

Koni yellows are a great upgrade with the added bonus of being able to upgrade further to an adjustable coilovers system.

Some research I did showed that Dinan sets them at the mid point in the front and the 25% point in the rear. I started with that and I'm now at the 75% point in the front with the rear still at 25%. The setting change was mainly to improve transient response on autocross courses. It's firm but not overly harsh for daily driving. The rears could probably use a bit more firmness, but frankly it's a PITA to do it since they have to come off the car and I haven't had the motivation yet.
