if you can afford a BMW, spend the money to mod it correctly. cutting springs is not it.

Cutting spring is usually considered because it is supposedly cheap, but only in up-front costs, 3000 miles later you are replacing suspension components. Cutting a spring causes an unknown increase in spring rate. This may cause unknown (usually poor) results in handling and safety of the vehicle. It also increase the stress level put on the spring as well as adversely effecting other related chassis components. Will tend to blow out your shocks much quicker as, so in the long run, not cheap anyway.
