Hey racerbruce - sorry for the slow reply. I never had the opportunity to drive it on the H&Rs, or stock springs / dampers, so my thoughts are just on the Bilstein / Eibach setup.

Inclement weather was fine - I had Pilot Sport A/S 3+'s mounted before starting the drive, as I anticipated snow and freezing rain - and they were great. Car handled slush and snow without any issues - I never felt anything less than confident on the highway.

Suspension - is great, on good surfaces. I find sharp impacts - expansion joints / manhole covers / whatever bottom it out hard. I'm going to take a look at the dampers and bumpstops in the spring - I recall from my nissan days that Koni made some great progressive poly bumpstops that were basically required on any lowering... not sure what the story is in BMW land; my prior E46 was factory height.
