Yep, isn't that what you said the Eibachs do in a earlier post? 
They lower it 1.2 inches all around. Like Kobain said, I didn't want the reverse rake look either.

Based on experience, we sell equal parts Eibach and H&R. Both are fantastic upgrades and you really cannot go wrong with either component. Bavarian Hypersport does aftermarket work for BMWs in the Texas area although I am unsure how close they are in proximity to you.

I'm intrested to know how the "ride" differs from stock with sports package?
I'm intrested in lowering a bit, however, I don't want to have a really stiff ride where I feel every crack in the road.
I'm just looking to lower my baby a bit.
Can someone please give me some honest feedback on this?
I'm currently running 18's with a staggered set up, nito 555's on a '04 545i. (if this matters?)
Thanks guys

Use to run H&R with stock dampers, now on KWs and 19". Personally, H&R gives a more aggressive lowered stance, surprisingly ride quality is not harsh with 18". Don't think you'll go wrong with it. Was told Eibach is softer, you need to check with the others about that.

The Eibach's are 1.2 all around and won't have that look. Reasonable price is around $150 + $80 alignment. PMed you regarding springs as well.

I have H&R sport on mine look at the pic
I had H&R sport springs (+ Bilstein sport shocks) on my E39. Which struts did you go with?
