If you look at what the guys who regularly track their cars do, one of the first things is add camber plates, because the car chews up the front tires without more camber. They also tend to replace the dampers and disable EDC. They also almost always hate variable ration steering.
What a legitimate track package for the 2 series should have been would be upgraded brakes, more adjustability if the front camber, monotube dampers, and perhaps a limited slip diff. On a car so equipped, we probably wouldn't be talking about a scathing review of the track handling abilities of the 2 series.
Go soft dampers and variable ratio steering are comfort features. Not "track" features.

Completely agree that the name is misleading, a Marketing ploy to boost the take rate. But, for many other more frequent uses, the actual content makes for a wonderful car!
