The DME has a dummy light and doesn't actually monitor oil pressure. I was reading another thread a while back where the one guy actually wired one in and found serious drops in oil pressure when he took his car to the track. On that point, the VAC oil pan baffle might be a good investment, considering everything you've already done. Doesn't seem like money is an issue.
I just picked up the BimmerWorld oil pressure tap and an AEM oil pressure gauge after an oil line rupture on track.

Never even got a light, supposedly the N54 oil pressure light only kicks on at 7psi.
