I was thinking that the ride height must be a problem, let see what the OP is using and if there are any issues. It looks good.

I have the H&R VTR suspension setup. Ride height is not an issue and no rubbing since the back tires for right inside the rear wheel fender edges. If there is a rub then with the HAS I have the ability to raise it as needed. I am running 12mm spacers on the rear and 15 on the front.

Just added the RW side skirt carbon fiber pieces that I think compliment the front lip.

The gap between the rear tire tread and fender lip / radius and the the front are no even... worse is that the front is gapped more than the rear.. the "Carolina Squat" looks doesn't do it, and on the track work be a disaster id bet, or rumble strips or speed bumps. But - if its yours and you like it then absolutely who cares - Make it your own for sure!

You know that the rear quarter panel and front fenders aren’t the same height, right?

Look at this picture of a stock car.

Aligning “gaps” is not a great approach to corner balancing a car.

I'm not sure if the M3 is any different than the M4 with fender clearance, but here is a driver weight adjusted perfect corner balance for the track:

I have a bit more fender gap in the front so the car has room for brake dive and bumps.

Here is in front of turn 1 at Spring Mountain (Moss C config), which is a hard to medium brake zone. The car is diving just about right.

Imo i love your stance, i dont know what everyone is complaining about. The rear is perfect but the front can go lower if you want all things being equal. From an asthetic point its great, but from a practicality point im not sure. Judging by the picture you are located somewhere where winter does occur and roads are not perfectly smooth so keep the in mind.
