I guess you can drive it as a sport car and mod it that way but it isn't one. Now if I get in the M5 after driving the Cayenne, the M5 feels low and light by comparison. So it's a matter of perspective. If you want to feel like you are in a sports car then drive the wife's SUV for a while then get back in the M5, cheap way to solve the problem without expensive mods.

The biggest issue for me is that I like the 911 so much I am not driving the M5.
100%. Exactly my approach. I've got the wife's SUV, the daily, and the sports car (toy).
Maybe if the M5 is your only vehicle, then sure the Comp Pack gives the M5 more sports car like abilities.
But for me, I prefer to have the right tool for the job.
Same reason I don't do my 'critical listening' in my home theater, built for movies and A/V. I use my dedicated 2-channel rig in my living room which is built for music.
All comes down to personal preference and requirements.
