Z4 M Springs on Z4 Non-M

Does anyone know if the springs are interchangeable? I did search but didn't see this, guessing because it either doesn't fit or no one has tried. Obviously the stock Z4 non M shocks won't be valved for the Z4 M springs, but it does seem that the Z4 M springs are taller than Z4 non M w/ M sport suspension. Looking for a setup that isn't lower than Z4 non M w/ M sport with a stiffer spring rate. Most coilovers seem to be set up to drop.

Did a little bit of research this morning. Visually the M/non M springs appear similar. Real OEM shows that the upper and lower rear spring pads are the same part number between M/non M, which leads me to believe they'll physically fit. Front however, while the lower spring perch is the same, the upper is different. The entire top mount of the M is different, but may not be interchangeable because the strut shaft diameters probably are not the same. I guess long story short is, unless someone has had both sets of parts in front of them, difficult to say what fits.

You'll probably need the offset lollipops, upper spring perches, and springs. The rears would probably work, just the shocks are probably different
