Will I hate going back to OEM

Go to factory 18's for every day driving, you'll be surprised how much better the ride is.

Factory 18s are hideous.

That's your opinion.

As for the ride, go to 18's

I don't have 18 wheels so I ordered new 19s tires, but I don't mind look of oem 18 at all

I was leaning toward the KW sleev over kit but after reading they were like H&R springs which I loathe, I went the B&G S2's. I hated the ride on both my Z3 M Coupe and my Z4 M coupe with HR springs.

Love the look at the ride B&G S2!. Same ride as stock!

I made the switch when I was forced to before turning my car back in. I could not believe the difference. Honestly, I'm over the lowered look and would take the smoother ride over it any day now.

I had KWV3's, and I had them re-set half way through my ownership period of them to a higher ride height and the softest settings I could get, and I still think it rode too stiff. I'm probably picking up another M3 in the next year or two, and I am certainly sticking with the stock suspension.
