Stupid crash regs or not, a MAJOR consideration when deciding on ride height, is how is the car going to deal with everyday driving on the various quality road surfaces it will encounter.
To me, it's a smart consideration. I drive my cars on the street and don't track them. Thus, I don't mess with the ride height, especially when living in a 4 seasons location, where I'd rather not plow the snow.
Just because the ride height may not be perfect for looks, I'm sure BMW calibrated the overall suspension tune to take necessary ride height into consideration.
Some of us value function over style.
The drop may look nice to some, but it's doubtful that there is appreciable handling increase on the street at street speeds. At the track, that's a different thing altogether, and that's where it may make sense to fiddle with the OEM suspension, especially on an M.
But that's just and my view.
