sport package dampers are the same. springs are different as spring rates are different.

That's right 3 series shocks from the LCI. I have no regrets with mine for the money I paid for all 4 corners Why? Cuz 3 series had the most shock refinements and these are probably better than the original 3 series 2006-2007 Msport shocks which had correct stiffness when on non runflat. Plus people sell these often for cheap and 2011 is still a new shock. 2008-2010 were rather bad shocks according to all I read. Sound a lot like 1 series Msport. 1 series never changed Msport shocks and they are not that good on regular tires Other than above any BMW Perf shock from 1 series or 3 series is better but more rare

Question my rears came from a 2012 128i sport. If i go with the shocks and springs that you recommended from an 2011+ e9x Msport will the spring rates affect anything.

135i rear shocks are fine, I think they are softer than 2011+ Msport 3 series rears. Those are very good rebound.
135i rear springs are good after 2010+ I don't think your choice of shocks in the front or front springs will hurt anything. Try to match if you can

I have a set of 2011 135i M Sport shocks that I do not need. I bought them from the original owner who put about 10,000 miles on them. If you want them, I will let them go for real cheap since I do not foresee myself ever putting them on my car.
