You want to do it for looks/stance, performance/handling, fitment of wheels/tires, all those reasons or other reasons?
The short answer is "Yes."
The short answer is "Yes."
You'll want hub centric spacers as well as extended lugs, your stock ones aren't going to work with spacers. HERE is a link to my 15mm and 17.5mm spacers with the proper extended bolts for the E9X.
Also I'd suggest taking some measurements as shown in the diagram below to insure you will not run into clearance issues on your car.

I'm more towards the look side of it.
You're probably going to have issues with 15mm front, depending on which wheels and suspension package you have. 18mm rear is pushing it but you might be OK. For reference, I ran 12mm front and had scrubbing issues in my '07 coupe with sport susp.
I had the wheel shop put spacers on the car when I replaced the stock wheels. Car looks much better.
I ran 15mm in the rear with no issues except over extremely large bumps. Chances are good that, if you have the seats with lower and side bolsters, you have the sport suspension. If your seats are almost entirely flat across the bottom, then you've got the non-sport. Sport Suspension also usually comes with 18" five-spoke semi-concave wheels, but those can be easily optioned on so it's not a guaranteed indicator.
Good question I don't even know what type of suspension I'm running onwhat did you have on the back?
