I would save my money and avoid any pedal commander/throttle hardware.
Enjoy the car with the BM3 OTS first as it may or may not affect your overall experience.

In my opinion, Sport and Sport+ are perfect the way they are and I worry about how agressive they will become with the XLR.

I think someone here has it so hopefully they will chime in with their opinions.
I agree with this, in my past cars where I had BM3 and driven friends I like having OEM pedal mapping in EcoPro/Comfort but still there's some extra power when you step on it.
