You cut all your springs?! 
You're definitely gonna need some new shocks. Are you going for the dumpy look where the wheels tuck?

You'll get the look you're after by cutting the springs, but you sacrifice handling and ride along with possibly having camber issues.
Did you get an alignment already? Were you able to get back to stock specs?

Keep your eye on those rear tires closely. The inside portions of the rear tires will wear very quickly, then side walls will blister and tire will blow with no warning. I had a 3 series ten years back, had it slammed. I went through rear tires like it was my job.

Well, you should replace your shocks because I doubt the stock shocks can handle the car being THAT low. I'm sure it looks crazy slammed. lol
You ever get a new car???
