I leave it on Sport all the time as even going back and forth between Normal is annoying.
iDrive with no M Drive technically IS an option, but I'm amazed that any dealer or buyer would have opted for that configuration. The Tech Package doesn't add much more to the cost especially when you consider you get EDC and Comfort Access with that bundle. Bummer that you got that car OP, but awesome that you got M Drive in the end!

As for Sport vs Normal throttle, I too have driven full-time in Sport because rev matching is easier, although at my most recent track weekend I came to the conclusion that Sport isn't ideal for precise throttle control while cornering. Sport is great because a sharper throttle makes the car feel more "on edge" and faster (yes, I know it's actually not), but by definition it's less linear, and linearity is what you want on the track.
