No, they are not different. The 535iS had the same springs as the regular 535i. The only changes are the Bilstein shocks (and in some cases some 535iSs came with a 21mm front sway bar instead of the 19mm one, but this cannot be counted upon as the factory was very inconsistent with this part).

M-technic springs were an option - mostly done on euro cars - which are 20mm lower than stock (3/4"). They are also stiffer than the stock springs.

'87 535IS are any different from the regular 535I of that year
or vintage ???
Someone said they were M Technic ?? the car does not seem to ride any lower than other 535 cars.....
