E46 M3 - Anyone racing one here ?

[Phantom Mark]

Looking for some pearls of wisdom from fellow M3'ers please.

Are the larger rear wings really a worthwhile upgrade, do they add a chunk of stability at speed ? vs a larger CSL style flick ? I only ask as I personally find them quite ugly but if needs be then it needs to be ?

4.1 final drive ratio, must have or nice to have? I have a std final drive atm afaik.

I remember reading a long while back the 5 spd box was more desirable than the 6sp on some other BMW's , does this apply to an E46 M3 ?

Are gearbox and diff coolers needed for the shorter 15/20min races, or just endurance ?

TYVM.
