My pleasure, feel free to ask if you have any more questions and remember, the next gen M4 is going to be soft top, soft tops look worse and are super hard to maintain and keep clean and are not as safe so grab the opportunity to get the hard top when you can. When it's hot, put the top up and its very similar to the coupe.
Finally, with the top down, since the weight is shifted towards the rear end more, you have more grip and better power delivery / grip when accelerating hard from a standstill. No One ever thought of that but think of it, more weight at the read = more grip = better acceleration despite that it's a bit heavier. whatever you do though, go with the competition package.
these are the competition package full list of upgrades:
- Power output: 444 HP (output increase of +19 HP)
0-60 DCT: 3.8 seconds (sedan/coupe), 4.1 seconds (convertible)
- M Sports exhaust system with black chrome exhaust tailpipes
- Tuned Adaptive M Suspension (SA 2VF) with new settings
- New Springs
- New Dampers
- New Anti-Roll Bars
- Reconfigured driving modes (Comfort, Sport and Sport+)

- Seatbelts with woven-in BMW M stripes (Coupe/Sedan only)

====================================
Eibach measured the spring rates, the CP springs do have higher rates than the standard ones. They also increased the rear-to-front axle rate ratio with the CP springs.
