I agree.
I know cutting them isn't the best but I honestly don't think anyone can lower an e90 without changing or modifying the bumps (without coilovers or modified perches).
Mine were obviously riding on the stops and that is with the relatively small drop of the Eibach springs.
I already ordered a set of e36 m3 stops for the front and I'll be replacing the cut ones above with the Z4 or e46 m3 bumps, whatever works better when I get them in.
They are definately designed to engage early. BMW's performance suspension chart even lists them as "auxiliary shock absorber"
