I was curious to know if it was needed to tune the suspension using Dinan’s Shockware Software.

I know that coilovers would be best bet for preventing any sort of issues down the line. But would the Dinan springs, kit, and tune make the shocks last as long as OEM? Personally I am unsure. I hear nothing but good things about the Shockware tightening everything up. Making it feel more Dynamic around bends.
I suggest to review this thread to appreciate how adaptive suspension systems work.

BMW Adaptive suspension isn't perfect and the thread mentions what is the most difficult algorithm to implement:

- Implementing a dynamic rapid compression / rebound response so the suspension quickly reacts to road imperfections. The opposite of a quick reaction: the suspension feels bouncy.

Predictably, BMW M Adaptive suspension does feel bouncy especially in Sport mode.

If you already sense that BMW M Adaptive suspension already feels bouncy, Dinan Shockware does not cure this condition. With Shockware, Comfort mode becomes Sport (stiffer) mode, and Sport becomes the new even stiffer mode.
