Ive had air ride on my other cars unless your willing to pay top dollar for a good air ride set up (which cost me around 7g) it will feel like your riding on boards

You can always do a hybrid setup which will consist of coils and UAS bags (my preference) Just find a coilover setup that'll fit and you're good. It rides really nice and you'll be able to go up and down as you please and dampening to boot. The only thing I would be afraid of is the cold climate cause in the summer time the lines and tank will fill with water from condensation but if you install a drain tube and open/close valve you'll be fine.

There are a few bolt on kits such as http://www.airrunnersystems.com/air-suspension/bmw
No idea about quality or handling

AirRunners are #1 period. If you can afford them get them, trust me on this. If I had to do it all over with my last car I'd definitely get them. Air bags are very durable, the main problem with them blowing is poor installation or people trying to ride dirty. Look at the buses, they have airbags and ride around ALL DAY.
