435i H&R springs on 435xi

Has anyone seen this? I know XI drops lower but wondering if the 435i designed springs will fit well on an XI

Are they even interchangeable? I've always been under the impression that the XI suspension parts will not fit on the non-XI and vice versa. Or is this just for coils?

With that said, why not just get the XI suspension? Is it more a matter of height preference of the non-xi springs giving the XI a less significant drop?

With all that said, I have to say the H&R sport springs on the XI are the perfect drop for my needs.
Mind you i'm in an F30, but I would expect the height before and after to be pretty similar.
They gave my front a 1.3" drop and the back a 0.7" drop. IMO it was the perfect drop. Not too low, but got rid of most of the ugly wheel gap. I have zero issues going over speed bumps and larger speed humps...sometimes some scraping but really only coming out of alleys and leaving parking lots etc where the road is extremely uneven, or a steep drop.

You're only saving around $150 for a questionable application. Not worth it to me.
