The rear? Gap seemed less in the rear compared to front? Maybe it's just the angle or the surface not being level where you're parked.

I know what you mean though. Certain times the drop looks perfect and other times we want it lower. I'd keep it within the range of the Ohlins or I think you'll be sacrificing ride quality. That's paramount for me.

It’s definitely the photo, but I believe these cars give the reverse rake appearance even when both front and rear jackpoint clearances are equal, so even with it lowered to what I ideally want, theres gonna be a larger gap up front than the rear, but I think im only gonna go 1/5th of an inch, nothing crazy. Got plenty of room in the ohlins 😁

That looks like there's a reverse rake already, so lowering the rear more will exacerbate it.

Are you leaving the front alone?

Hey I’m looking for some insight. My friend is offering me a set of bbs Ch-r , staggered set 19x8x40 and 19x9x44. Would 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 fit ? And would that set fit (I’m guessing with spacers) work on a e93 m3. TIA.

No, don't. Not wide enough and too shallow of offsets. But stock tires 245/265 would fit well enough. Normal size for 8" & 9" historically from BMW would be more like 225/255.
