I can answer you on this
1. wear life.
The wider tire means more contact and less wear life. I had my original 295 tires for about 14 months. Now after 6 months on 305, today I figured out the tread left is about 4/32". I need new tires in 1-2 months!
2. Cornering.
As you mentioned (and I agree) the traction is significantly better, but in turns/cornering car is not as agile as it was on 295 which was predictable.
3. DD intention.
M5/M6 are meant to be DD car and not track car. Not everybody wants to launch M5/M6 every day so they don't need 305 while 295 is better fit for daily driving.
However, I take 305 over 295(due to traction improvement). I will go for another 305 again. unfortunately MPSS 315/30/20 is not available. If it was, I would go for it
