^^^ Not this. Are you serious?
I don't know if any reputable shop would be willing to cut springs so you have better "stance".
Your shocks are probably toast by now anyway, so might as well get a proper coilover kit and enjoy better handling with the knowledge your spring won't break in half next time you hit a pothole. Realize that the M3 rear end does LOOK lower than the front when both front and back are level, it's the way the body is built. If you want the front to look as low as the rear, your car will be tipped forward slightly.
Anyone who cuts springs on ANY car, let alone an M3, should be hit repeatedly with something hard and blunt.
