How detrimental to day to day handling and reliability would the installation of the non-sport springs and struts on the front and the non-sport shocks in the back be on my base M sport suspension 128i convertible?

How much negative handling you get from non-sport front springs/struts will depend on what spring rate you have. If the spring rate is appropriate for the car's weight, you will simply experience non-sport handling, which isn't
that bad.
For the back, if you're mixing non sport shocks and have sport springs you won't get the most out of the springs and/or shorten the damper life.
Just noticed you have an E88 so take what I've said as applicable to coupes, not convertibles. The convertible is heavier, especially the back.
Hopefully someone on here with an E88 will chime in.
What code are the springs?
