B6 OR B8 ,which one can fits m sport spring?

i checked bilstein website,and it says that B8 fits m sport suspension,and b6 fits standard suspension.but i saw someone bought a B8 for his m sport sping,the damper is too short , m sport spring only 15MM shorter than standard spring ,but B8 is 30mm shorter than standard damper. so the m spring will be preload on B8.
experience tells me, buy B6. but official website tells me ,buy b8. can anybody help me?

I suggest you get the B8 and either the H&R or Eibach lowering springs. They will improve your stance and handling!

Do you get the same wearing if you change the shocks and keep the same springs as you do when you change the springs and keep the same shocks?
