I had the H and R springs before, but I want springs that will retain the warranty on the car.

I looked into this and BMW will only warranty the performance suspension if you fit the whole kit with dampers and bumpstops too - which makes sense.

Fitting just springs is a bad idea IMO with the already soft standard damping it will make it worse.

Kit is about £450 and springs separate about £300

As the BMWP springs are all different and about 3 or 4 types per models depending on options fitted (weight), its difficult for anyone to do a like for like comparison as the damper kits are fixed for all models which means they cannot be matched sets.

Were the H&R springs black? If so no one would notice anyway IMO.

Yes they are black as I had the same set up as Oli had on his Tourer,not something I would do again.
