Thanks
The springs have been on the car for 13 days and the car has dropped between 3/4" and 1". In my view it is enough to substantially improve the appearance and more importantly, the handling. However, it does not look slammed. I can still remember the days when the Sport Packaged BMW models all looked like my car looks today. My E34 and E39 Sport package models looked similar in height. For some reason BMW designed the F10 to sit very high and even the M5 looks a little lifted to me.

I hope this helps.
