Mines an E36 and I shortened my own springs using excessive heat. It passed the SVA at the time but then failed an MOT the following year. I got some standard lowering springs for mine off ebay at the time but the ride height has gone up quite a bit. My problem was that the shorter springs were in danger of "falling out" when the car was jacked up so the MOT man said they could come loose over bumps.
Sorry but I haven't got a picture to hand...
