Thanks in advance for your patience with me, total noob here . First off, I'm thinking of going with coilovers vs. springs, is this a good idea? I like the idea of adjustability. Also, I was thinking of going with Sonic Tuning e92 coil overs. Anyone have experience with these?

Well, if you want adjustability, coilovers is definitely what you want. I can't give anything on the Sonic Tuning coilovers since I don't have a set, but I've heard nothing but good things about them. Pretty much the same as the KW V1, just different materials. Remember, this is what I hear from people that have them and read about them online.

SN: I'm looking at getting a set also.

If I went with just springs, say H&R or Eibach, can I use these with my stock 328i shocks?

Eibach-yes
H&R- you can technically install these springs using your stock shocks, but your ride will be rough, so no . However, paired with a set of Koni Yellow...

The price of just Eibach springs is super cheap...but I bought a BMW for a reason. If I throw on Eibachs with stock shocks, will it ride like crap? If I'm trying to keep that BMW feel, should I just man-up and grab coilovers?

I think you're thinking of ST Coilovers.
The Sonic Tuning coils are different.

....ST= Sonic Tuning
Not thinking of the low end KW. I met a guy at the dealership that had a set from Sonic Tuning and said they are pretty much the same and he's more than satisfied. Once again, I don't know because I don't have a set (yet). Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wait so ST v1s are not Sonic Tuning s1s? What's the better one? They are about the same price, which should I buy?

I can tell you from first hand experience that you wont have an issue with the Sonic Tuning s1s. I am on a set and I also installed a set on another e90 and we're both satisfied. I installed a set of KW v2s on another friend's car and the only difference is the Sonics have to be set pretty low to get the same ride "softness" of the KWs at their middle setting. The KWs also use progressive springs where the Sonic's are single rate springs. That would easily explain the difference in ride. So far I have about 12k miles on mine.
