You can put a drop of 15mm upto 80mm on a E30 :)

A drop of 30/40mm is typically a suitable drop for road use. Springs such as Eibach Pro Kit are in this range and work particularly well in appearance and handling. Any more than this and you will need to alter the shocks as well and may have issue with speed humps and tyre scrub. It depends a lot on what you are after in the way of looks and performance

60/40 is regarded as the maximum practical drop, but can still end in tears on speedbumps. Mine is on the Eibach kit which is 35-40mm all round. It really depends if you are aiming for looks or handling.
