BMW are fine vehicles. When you start cutting coils, you'll damage your suspension. You're not driving an 87 Monte Carlo with springs the size of John Deer tractors. You cut out of a little car's spring and you will have a car that sags, bottoms out, corners like trash, but is a little lower.
Go save some money, buy some H&R sport springs and stop being such a hilly billy.

2.5 off each end is a nice start for a "sport" drop, and the car will still ride like factory excluding MASSIVE bumps. You can go further as necessary.

just an update, I ended up cutting 3 before I noticed how close the pan was to the ground. I still need to get the new 16's mounted and the skid plate on before I cut anymore but I'm sure it will be at least another 1/2 coil.
for fun I threw some 18's on the rear (front wouldn't clear strut)
