I'm totally not trying to sound like a jerk I'm just trying to understand the logic behind putting springs on a $20,000 suspension set up from BMW.
It doesn't have air. It had springs. They were too long so I took them off and put shorter ones on and now it looks better.

Per MikoM, this is about the going rate for OEM springs so it's not like I've soiled the car or anything.

What made you think it has air suspension?
Thought I remember reading a car review that the grand coupe had air suspension but I know this is the competition version and after checking it it has the M adaptive suspension.

Just food for thought you should check out what KW is doing I'm thinking they are going to release a proper adaptive suspension system for the M8 Grand Coupe.
These springs preserve the dampener controls. I used them on 2 F90s and couldn't be happier. I've just driven 600 miles on them and, aside from making the car look great, it's riding beautifully.
