Spacers and Springs...issues

Hey fellas...i have a 2016 F83 and I recently went to a local shop and installed a set of Emmanuel Design lowering springs. I already had 15mm spacers all around. Initially I thought the front was a bit too low vs the back but the shop said that was normal. I don't drive my car that often so wasn't able to really notice the issues until a few days ago. It slams at the front when going over bumps and I'm also getting a weird smell like something burning coming from the front wheel wells. Not sure if it's suspension or just my tires rubbing with the spacers. They knew I had the spacers before installing the springs and said it should be no problem. Here's a photos of my car and drop. What do you guys think?? Anyone else dropped on springs with spacers that experienced these issues? Thanks in advance.

You should pull a tire off and check it and the well cover for rubbing.
Or take it back and have them do it.
FYI, this is a F10 5 series forum.

Hey, its for sure the spacers. Take them off and test drive the car around and you shouldn't hear or smell anything. I would recommend going down to 10 or 12mm spacers now that you are lowered.

Also here is the forums for F80/82 https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/
