I saw go with the KW Height Adjustable Spring kit.

It retains all the BMW M suspension settings in the car but you can go really low with it, very aggressive and also, you can adjust the height if needed.

+1 with Dinan_GT with the KW, I have the H&R setup it's good but tends to be a little bouncy at times when encountering bumps or uneven roads.

Correct. The KW and Dinan offer a kit that is springs and mounting parts that use the factory EDC shocks/struts and make them become adjustable.
I have sold and installed both kits at my shop.

PM me. I can get you some good prices.
I'm located in Riverside county (Temecula)

As everyone else said... The KW HAS Kit is the way to go. You will get the best ride handling and you can lower it 1.2" (this is what's advertised). I have the kit on my car and in "Comfort" mode the car rides extremely well. Switch it over to Sport Plus and you have rock hard handling which is great at times. Your really get the best of both worlds with the KW HAS Kit.

KW H.A.S. is definitely very popular with our customers. Let me know if you have any questions.

You can go with H&R springs.
They cheap in cost and give it a nice stance.
For some more $$$ I would recommend the Dinan or KW HAS kit.
Adjustable with the factory shocks and retains a very smooth ride
