The springs are the same for the standard and the sp pkg versions. Why should they be replaced? Tirerack have some spring replacement suggestions, but they are all for lowering and sports handling...
I'm pretty sure the non-sport springs are of lower rates. Just check with a BMW recycling center and buy the complete strut assembly- shocks with springs. That way you'll be guaranteed a smoother ride, you'll know it's from a non-sport.
