Can you change the center caps to BMW? That's the only change I'd make.
I have an E83 X3 and lowered it on H&R sport springs. It made a world of difference with the handling. It doesn't look as low as your photoshop guesstimate pic, but still closed about 1.5" of rake.

I think they look great. JM2C. Does it handle measurably better, with less sidewall flex?

My review of the scorpion tires now that it has been a year: wear on all tires seem good or non existent. Tire noise is very low, so basically quiet. Only one road where the pavement makes weird squeaky noises. Probably from all the gripping surface of the tire. Wet traction is great. I feel very safe. Turns and corners are little more soft than I would like it to be. I have learned to take them slightly slower than my e92. I also always drive in sport mode with stiffer steering and suspension. On regular mode I fell like the SUV is too loose and non responsive. ( any tire)

For me, I tend to floor it most of the time. I have a short drive to work and there is a limited amount of fun time.
