I would recommend strongly against doing that to this car. The car handles so well with only a good set of tires, I'd hate to ruin that balance with a set of springs.

Jmo, based on a ton of suspension experience on 4 different bmws, including two m3s.
I will agree,however,the o.e suspension isn't brilliant in comparison to a good aftermarket kit,springs set it off nicely cosmetically for now,the ride is rather bumpy in standard form.if I decide that the car is a long termer,I'll treat it to some proper suspension
