If this is common knowledge or has been discussed elsewhere, I apologize.
I'm considering bagging my 745Li; it's on coilovers now, and is pretty close to the limit of how low it can go before seriously bending up the front fenders during turns, not to mention on bumps during turns. On this particular car, the primary concern is the inner wheel in the turn, as it pushes out (the outer wheel just pulls in, so it's not an issue). I'd like be able to nearly lay frame, but still be able to make turns...so, what are my [reasonable] options?
Are the following the only reasonable fixes for this? Is there a better approach? Suggestions?

- raising the car
- rolling / pulling fenders further out near the point of contact
- modifying control arm / spindle mount points to pull the wheel in during turns instead of out
- smaller wheel/tire setup to effect greater clearance
- changing camber or caster at the shock mount/tower
