Get factory msport springs and Bilstein B6s and roll on. The springs will give the car a slightly more aggressive look than base E91 hight while still giving each corner plenty of travel. The B6s will give you a tight, yet smooth ride.
After installing new shocks felt like a completely different car. No body roll or nose dive.
I did bilsteins and solved my problems.
Bilsteins B6 perfect with 4 thick 7/16 washers.
I’d recommend Bilstein 5100 shocks, and old man emu springs for about a 2 inch lift.
They are of fantastic quality. Fully assembled made for easy install. Ride quality improved on and offroad.
I have 318is with eibach pro kit 1 inch lower and bilstein b8 (basically original) and it drives like a dream. I personally dont like lowered or slam cars especially as its classic and i want to enjoy the deive not be bothered with potholes. If tou really want to lower it make sure the springs and shocks are good quality. Previous suspension was TA tehnica and the entire chassis was moving on potholes. My previous e30 (316i) had the same stupid TA tehnica and I swapped the suspension from a e30 wagon that had the same ground clearance as you and it perfect for the city
I got h and r lowering springs and bilstein B8 shocks and struts. They work really well. And i can go over speed bumps and handle rough roads.
I run Bilstein 5160’s on my 22 F250 but they’re pricey.
I had Bilstein, but they broke after just 2 months.
