I think my research payed off.

1) the ride confort is UNCHANGED! The soft sport suspension is unchanged. Very happy with that.

2) The handeling of the car is even better then before. Have to test it out some more but i am very satisfied with the handeling in corners.

3) the 19 inch wheels look much better. Before they seemed somewhat small but now i think the 19 inch is perfekt for the car.

4) the car looks more sporty. The picture i had in my head when i bought the car
is now brought to life.

5) i recommend this to the more sporty drivers. You wont regret it.

6) My 2cm spacers in the rear and 1 cm spacer in the front dont rubb. I tested this
before i lowered it and i was sure it would not rub and yes it doenst.

The springs are new. The car will drop another O,5 inch when the springs settle.

Nice!

Question, are those wheels staggered? They don't look it.

If not why not? They make the rears in 19x9.5 which will give you a bigger lip plus probably negating the need for spacers in the rear.

wheels are
2piece compound style 1O1 Mtech Bmw Oem wheels 19 inch
Michelin radial x ZR pilot sport tubeless tires 275/30 245/35
The OEM offsets are ET:32 on a 9,5" wheel for 19

all oem bmw wheels on a E6O need spacers to fill

We measured it and its now 1,5 cm (i think thats O,75 inch?) lower then the mtech sport suspension witch is on itself 1.8 cm lower then oem.

It will drop however some more because springs have to settle.
