You should never change out dampers on one end of the vehicle only. Koni's have completely different valving design compared to stock. It is ONLY done by used car dealers and the such. I would never do it on my minivan or commuter car and it will ruin the M5.
This repair method completely upsets the handling, ride and balance of the car. It will turn an M-car into a base model Chevy.
Save your money until you can afford to buy a full set of 4 Koni's for $700. If that's too steep, buy Sachs.
There is absolutely no reason to swap out springs. Most consumers are replacing premium springs with cheaper, inferior springs for no reason....or just to slam the car for looks with no concern about cargo capacity or consistent handling.
Premium OEM springs are typically stable and consistent for about 25 years. Premium OEM dampers begin degrading within a year and often lose hydraulic fluid or to mush/pogo behavior in 3 yrs and 36K miles.
