Looks great... Are you on non-sport suspension? What widths are the wheels?
The dipping on the right side is probably due the the passenger side of the car being a tad lower to begin with. Where is it rubbing? You can rock the car up and down and if it doesn't rebound to a stop on the first time up and keep rocking then your shock is bad.
Also, the 5mm are totally useful. It still leaves part of the hubcentric lip exposed to mount a flat hubbed wheel fine. Unless you have a beveled hubbed wheel, then the 5mm spacer is useless.

I'm on stock non-sport suspension. It's rubbing on the rear passenger fender liner to the point that it seemed to have popped it off the fender. Thinking more about it, I don't think I'll add spacers. It seems fine the way it is. I'll test the rear shock out. If it's bad, I'll look into some KW Street Comforts. 
I just got an alignment yesterday and the car tracks beautifully. Big props to Cyrus of JC Auto House in Temple City, CA. He was very thorough and got everything to within center of the alignment ranges. Would the alignment catch it if the rear passenger side is lower than the rear driver side?

Yeah he's great and thanks for referring me to him. As he was working on my car he was explaining what he was doing. I hoped he didn't mind all my questions but he seemed willing to educate me so I kept asking. Also while he was working on my car I was chatting with an E46 M3 owner waiting to get tires and wheels mounted. He says he's gone to Cyrus a few times already with different cars and speaks highly of him as well.
