Sorry about what you've been through. My car is all Dinan-ed out but I've resisted non-reversible mods while the car is under warranty. I've been looking at the springs that Dinan just released for the 228i but installation at my Dinan shop (one of the very best on the West coast) is seven hours of labor or around $750.00, I believe. My best suggestion would be for you to find the most reputable indie Dinan shop you can and offer to pay them to fix the issue, reinstalling the springs if necessary. It may end up costing you up to that $750 but at least this way you will not have wasted money on buying the springs and the work will be covered by Dinan's warranty if your BMW dealership balks at doing other warranteed work on any issue it blames on aftermarket suspension components.
