I used Intrax in my cabrio.  Feels the same as H&R sport.

weitec makes a set for the m42 vert, which you can get through tunershop. 40/25mm drop if i remember right.

i may have a set available myself soon, i bought them but ended up going with H&R Z3 1.9 springs because of my 5-lug swap. PM me if you want them.

You might want to call Bav Auto about springs, I bought a set for my cabrio about a year ago. They are discontinued, but they did have several left in stock. Maybe worth a phone call. Very nice lowered stance.

Actually Eibach did make springs specifically for the vert, but they were also discontinued several years ago. Might look for a used set.

Wow, that is a rare find. Isamemon, you should pull the trigger on those and buy them.
