IMHO the CP and CCB are not worth it unless you are several times a year on the track and want to get the most out of your M5.

The steering, the suspension, the drivetrain, the chassis... everything just felt so well balanced, perfectly tuned.

Thus I decided to not go for the CP and will also let go of the CCBs.

I'd like to keep the firm but comfortable suspension.
Actually, CCBs are good if you DONT track the car. They'll last longer than the car for everyday use. On the track they'll last maybe slightly longer than steels. Then enjoy a 10-15k minimum brake job. Most track guys swap the CCBs to steels for the track.
