Thinking about this mod
I know this isn't the suspension forum but I figured I could get better relevant opinions.
Since I don't track my car ('12 328i w/base suspension) but I want to lower car and keep ride comfort for a DD in an area with crap roads I plan on going with Dinan springs & bump stops with stock shocks. I only plan on keeping this car for a couple more years...is this a bad decision?

Different tires (non run flats) will make a huge difference in the ride quality, making it much more comfortable

Go for it. The Dinan springs along with H&R Sport are both made to run with stock shocks without issue. You won't experience a major difference in ride quality.

I don't know if I plan on owning this car after warranty expires so I really don't want to invest a ton of money doing a complete suspension. I'd just like to get a little sportier look and feel.

If your roads are smooth fine. If you have potholes or other road issues then no do the shocks as well.
