Is it time to replace the suspension? (archive)

My M5 has a stock suspension including the self-leveling system, which still works. I suspect that all the components are the ones that came on the car from the factory.

On hard launches, I've noticed that the nose comes way up (at least it's "way up" for me) and the back end goes way down. Is that normal with a stock suspension and self-leveling system in good order? Body roll during hard cornering seems moderate to me, but I suspect it's significantly more than what it would be with even new OEM components. I'm not interested in any radical mods to the car, but , if I have to replace the suspension anyway, a Dinan Stage 1 suspension upgrade (maintaining the self-leveling system) is looking better all the time. Suggestions? Observations?
