Yes they will fit, the iS uses the 325i Mtech 'sport' suspension but with springs for the 4 pot lump. Ideally you'd need iS springs...
That said, I'm currently running uprated 6cyl springs and shocks on the front of my lil-M40, its ok but the ride is quite firm

Good choice 
It could just be its on lowering springs and you just need a set of the original mtech springs to go on there. Iirc the iS springs are 15mm lower than standard 4pot springs.
