I'm planning to lower my 318i with Eibach springs and E90 Front Spring hats, will I have issues with smashing the sump?

How low? 30mm is fine, 60mm is awkward over speed bumps and driveways, no off road possible or climbing on the pavement to park etc..

Well Eibach state that it will lower the car 30mm plus the E90 drops it another 12-15mm, so your looking about 40mm ish upfront

Because I like the way it sits and from my house to work there are no speed bumps, I rarely go anywhere else but when I do I just have to take care going over them
