If you are going with shorter springs it will kill your shocks. Almost always best to go coilover and do both at once. I think Dane has these if I remember http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E46-330...vers/ES248295/ i could be wrong. He will chime in.
Check out the suspension form.
Cheap

Yup, I agree that short springs will also shorten the life of your shocks. Just buy a set of coilovers and be done with it.
Buy nice or buy it twice.
My car has KW V2 coilovers and I absolutely love them.

+1 on the KWs. I was not sure about budget for the OP but this is the route I will be taking when it is time for new shocks. I will just clean it all up with those.

With the KW V2 coilovers you can adjust not only ride height but also adjust the rebound damping.
