will this be ok

i did a suspension change last year (from stock f34 335d xdrive GT) to acs springs and bilstein b8.
Im planning to change cars and want to put my car back to stock.
I see a set of lightly used f30 335d xdrive springs and dampers for sale.
Will the ones from f30 335d be ok on my f34 335d

No. The F34 has stiffer springs due to all the extra weight and different dampers. It would be an unethical thing to do to put F30 parts on there and call it stock.

Thank you for checking first.

I imagine you could probably find some F34 springs/dampers pretty reasonably priced from one of the Baltic countries on eBay, hahaha. Seems like all the auto dismantlers/recyclers/(and dare I say chop shops) are in that region. I can't say I've ever had a problem ordering parts from there before.
