^^ All good points but the EDC can be purchased separate from the Comp. Pkge as well for only $1,000.-A lot less if your dealer provides you the same at invoice price.

As far as lowering the car-there are so many reputed aftermarket set ups such as springs or coil overs that allow the same where you can lower the car even further. Considering I may only track once a year-the $2,500 option for me is better spent on a set of track wheels/tires and new brake pads.

Also see Jeremy Clarkson's Top Gear review on the M3 w/Comp Pkge. He concludes that the standard M3 does the job perfectly. If anything the difference in lap times between the Comp Pkge and Standard is quite minimal in that unless most of us where racing in a pro-car series-those numbers are meaningless.

I still have lots of respect for Comp Pkge owners-if you think its worth it-go for it.
