Throw some Eibach springs in there and call it a day. Check if it needs new shocks and maybe upgrade to Bilstien B6s or B8s.
If I recall some base model pre-LCIs need spacers or the wheels stick far into the wheel well and looks quite odd. Don't do it solely for looks. Avoid H&R you're not a trackboi, Eibachs are the way to go springs-wise for a daily. As to what some of the other posters said on here, you can purchase a set of Eibach springs for ~$200, not very expensive for quality parts. If you can't afford that don't bother anything regarding suspension unless necessary, anything cheaper than a set of springs will screw something up or look horrible. I'm sure there will be a plethora of things that the $200 will be more useful for in the future.

Hopefully not crappy, heavy, low-quality wheels for "looks". The only wheels I would consider putting on my car over OEM wheels are BBS, preferably the OEM BBS wheels from the 320si.. Anything else is objectively not worth it at all.

OP: When I first got my E90 with Sport Pkg, I installed Eibach Pro Kit springs and ran it that way for three years before the shocks finally started to go, but that was the Sport Pkg, and you said that you don't have the Sport Pkg. But it may be worth a look. I know everyone is saying don't change it, but if that's what you have your heart set on, then it may be the cheapest short term solution for you. It still rode very well, and handled great, plus it eliminated most of the wheel well gap and looked very nice.

Getting an E92 M3 soon, I can't imagine how low that would be like.
