Its possible to lower your car by abour 35mm fine without changing the shocks. It won't handle the best but be ok.

Easiest way to lower a 316 is to buy a complete set of 318is front struts and rear shock and springs.

318is is 15mm lower and has thicker 51mm front struts (316 has 45mm) Could upgrade the brakes from solid to vented...

Just make sure you have 4 cyclinder springs as 6 cyclinder springs will not work..
