M235i Strut/Suspension Refresh Question

My front struts are blown and I have a ton of front end noise. Car is RWD, 2014 but only 120k km.

I'm in Canada and weirdly the cheapest struts I can find that retain EDC are from the dealer $760 CAD each. I'm also planning to replace the mounts, $300 each, not so nice.

Is there anything else I should replace while I'm at it? Gaskets? Bump stop? Bolts?

Should I go OEM for the strut mounts or save some money on aftermarket? Mine are the 3 bolt ones.

The roads are terrible where I am so not all that interested in full aftermarket suspension right now. Would like to keep EDC for my lady lol.

Bilstein makes DampTronic OEM replacement struts in both OE and Performance applications. Have a look at those.
