I would say leave it alone and let some air out of the tires 
start with 20psi in all 4 
then go up 1 or 2 psi at a time see how it feels
are you running standard tire size or larger

At 20 psi the TPMS system will kick in and the dash will go orange and sirens let loose.
Also at 20 psi excess wear will begin and the edges of the tyre will begin to shred.
Don't do it!
This is where TPMS proves it's worth.
Also, if you have an accident, investigators will identify the low pressures and your insurance company will cancel your policy.

Hello! I am from Spain myself (Asturias) but I live in Australia :)

I think that you could just get better shock absorbers, with the same length, and that would be it. Living in Spain I would go for either the Koni Heavy Track 4x4 or the Bilstein B6 (the ones that have the same length of the stock absorbers, there are two types of B6!). Koni in this case is a bit less harsh that Bilstein, so you may prefer them, but on tarmac the B6 may be better.

just upgrading the shocks would be enough i reckon

dual tube or mono tube is just a personal preference, get OME shocks if you want unadjustable dual tube or taniguchi A14Z shocks if you want adjustable compression dual tube, both are pretty good in quality/cost ration

I bought the Black Raptor standard length shocks and set them to the softest damping setting, which are working fine and give a less crashy ride over potholes, etc..

I think I get more lean when cornering aggressively, but I just have to remember that I'm not in the M3 anymore.

Thanks for the recommendations.
