I have hated the ride since day one. Its not any worse now. Looks sick tho, I threw on a set Bms big tips today! The back is beast mode now.

I am just going to roll it for a few months, then found some coilovers with a better ride and go with some 19" wheels with soft tires. I had an 2015 M4 with H&R's super sports. Night and day difference. The M4 rode so much better.

Could this possibly be an M4 vs M3 thing?

Could the M3 for some reason have a stiffer ride?
I legitimately don't know I'm asking the question even though it may be a silly one.

I think the ZCP has tighter suspension. I hate it! lol I have owned 3/E90's and 1 e92 and 1 m4. I come to know these cars hate 20' wheels.

Update. The ride is not much different from stock. But now, i'm getting a weird vibration in the steering wheel under a hard acceleration. Maybe I went to aggressive on spacers?

Most cars with 20 foot wheels don't ride well

FWIW - I find my ZCP f80 is a MUCH better riding setup than my f82 was with passive suspension however when I had the JRZ Pros on it that was in a whole other league.

Fitment was good. Two tabs didn't line up, I just put double sided around the whole diffuser. There was a total of 8 tabs. The other 6 tabs were good enough for me not to worry about it flying off or looking shitty. I am maybe thinking the other tabs are for a m4???? Not sure. Other members have asked for pics of tabs that dont line up. Tomorrow I will get better photos

Ok, so it the 2 center tabs that dont line up. They should be on the outside of the fins I am guessing

My M3 comp pack was totaled. Thank god! ride was awful. I bought a 2015 M4. just installed swift springs. The ride is completely different than M3 comp pack. so much more comfortable.

(Sorry, couldn't resist. Sorry about the car, but sounds like you're OK -- and oddly happier for it!)
