Our 318i cab was on 15" bbs and low (40mm possibly more) it drove like a’© & we cracked four sumps, i changed the suspension to B8's & H&R springs which raised it slightly ( but still looks good) & the ride quality and handling went through the roof & no more sump damage,you really do get what you pay for, if your on a budget, look for something quality but used, maybe!
H&R or Eibach springs come highly recommended!

80 mm is a no go for many reasons , being epically council being the least of your problems ! . Ajay speaks the truth , pay heed !

I lowered my Bronzit 2-door (What a car) by 80mm, when I was young & slim, it ruined the handling, & I went through 2 sets of rear wheel bearings, don't do it, it looks dreadful as well.

Lowering your car by 80mm will be a disaster....

You won't be able to afford to take your eyes off the road for the car wandering and every time you hit a pot hole or manhole cover, it will result in the need for very expensive dental work!
