lowering suspension?

I have Set of 19X8.5 19X9.5 Avant Garde M310s Gunmetal w/ Machined Face with Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 235/275 combo.

my e92 335xi is base model. I researching and found out that H&R spring and koni is one of the popular(?) set. Other than those two, is there anything I also need to replace since it is a base model?

No. Not unless you want additional performance. If so, then I would research thicker anti sway bars and the M3 control arm upgrade.

If just to look lower and kill fender space, that's all you need. You will not need a camber correction plate for said springs. (At least I did not).

No, I have 19's, too. The space you gain in wheels size you lose in tire height, so in reality, it's not much of a difference minus the visual look of becoming closer to the fender via thinner tires.

One other fun fact; the XI's sit higher anyways, so you really shouldn't have anything to worry about. I rock 10MM spacers and had rubbing issues only on speed bumps.
