Buy a set of lowering springs from German Swedish French.
They will be around £50 and they lower the car by around 45mm. You will need the four cylinder springs, the 325i ones will be too bouncy for your lighter front end.

I've just swapped mine on my 320i cabby. It is a bit involved, check out the thread on "That nut- you know the one" in tech help. You may as well invest in some new drop links too (£10 each and you need one either side).
