Then bring the car back after a few weeks to do a proper alignment.
Alignments do NOT alter the ride heigh in 99% of passenger vehicles. (your 3 series is in this 99%)
Note - I used to do that for a living to put myself through college.

Agreed!
After alignment, its not going to be a significant drop but just slightly to ensure everything is balanced correctly.
