I purchased and installed Bilstein springs and struts for my 325is. I've been playing with drift and very aggressive cornering and the body has a lot of roll and give still... is there a coilover kit I can buy that won't make me replace the struts again? I'm going to be short on cash for a long time (college) so I'm trying to save where I can. I really want a stiff ride, so what else should I be looking at? Anti-roll bars? What? I'm new to this stuff, but I love to drive and I'm more than willing to learn (going to school for mechanical engineering). Please help!

do a DIY coil over like handpaper. I have done one as well, works a treat. Do a search, loads to read

yep agree with Andy325, definately should look into changing the ARB first off, i got eibachs on mine and noticed the diference straight away. A MUST do on your list or anybodys list for that...

Thanks! but what is an ARB? I did a search and it turns out some company is using that acronym for its name, and that company makes a lot of automotive parts, so I have no idea what an ARB is. I assume anti-roll-bar?

Yeah its an anti roll bar - seriously is worth doing. If you get a good one (many people go for either h&r or eibach) it will transform the way the car handles. You will need to budget about £250 for them, which bang for buck is a good deal!
