M4 Comp or CS or Heritage???

[Arash666]

Hi,
Pros and Cons please? Not sure which to choose considering benefits and lossesd?
Thank you all participants

[NickyC]

CS if not having a 6MT doesn't bother you and it's not really close. If you want a DCT car, CS is where its at.

Heritage if you need a 6MT and don't care about the loss of ICONs. Comp if you want 6MT and ICONs.

Comp MT+1

CS if you don’t want 360 cameras and other creature comforts.

M4 Comp is best if you want a high spec car.

I wouldn’t pay extra for heritage compared to same spec ZCP. It’s neat but it’s just a marketing push.

Otherwise, there is no wrong choice.

I chose 2018 ZCP with 6sp and all the goodies (768M wheels, MPE, CF bits, exec package w ICONs, etc). Owned it longer than any car I’ve ever had. I would have gotten bored with DCT by now.

GTS

CS all the way.

Hi, thanks. So basically you're saying Comp. Great thanks. I guess most replies are saying Comp is the best choice when all benefits and losses are considered?

Only if you need 6MT, otherwise it’s the CS by far.

CS cars will lack the following:

- Auto climate control
- Door puddle illumination
- Door storage
- 360 Cameras
- Driver lane keep
- Blind Spot detection
- Arm rest storage
- Wireless car charger
- 666 Rims

CS cars you gain

- Oled rear lights
- 19in front rims
- CF Hood
- Alcentara interior
- 10 HP though with coding you can achieve this.

Really would go for Comp for the extra functions unless you wish to track car

Thanks a mill mate , finally someone listed some informative listing rather than personal opinion and 6MT,8AT

My currect M4's a OLED rear lights that i installed myself (paid a grand and now it's only around £600). HP is not much diff, and the bonnet i can purchase online(tbh, it's the bonnet that attracts me) and as u can see from my profile name, 666 is my fav number therefore i prefer the 666rims

[RugbyBro]

CS are much better driving cars than ZCP due to the revised damping <- this isn't an overstatement either, it's significant. Better daily and better performance.

You can code this on ZCP if you would like as they share the same dampers, I would recommend that you do if you go that route. Regardless of what you go with, just bring it up to CS spec.

If you plan on keeping this car completely stock, the decision is much harder to make than if you plan on adding modifications.

If you plan to modify the car for more performance with different suspension, increased horsepower, etc., then you should buy a base model car in the colors, transmission, and technology features you want.

Which version comes with 8AT?

As RugbyBro mentioned, the driving experience and suspension tuning of the CS and the Comp are vastly different and they feel like different cars. You can’t get 10 hp from coding, you have to buy an ecu tune (cs, gts, stage 1, stage 2). If you don’t mind tuning the ecu then it’s easy, albeit not cheap, to get 10-120 whp. However, if you’re against ecu tuning then that’s 10 whp and factory engine tuning lost. As for the list of things you lose when buying a CS, I didn’t order any of the options listed on my f82 and, iirc, those optional items aren’t standard on the Comp. So buying a Comp doesn’t mean you automatically get all of the items in the list that the CS doesn’t have. This one is subjective but the 763M wheels look so much better than the complex 666M. You could completely wash the CS in the same amount of time it takes to just clean the Comp 666M wheels! The difference in ride quality between the 19/20 and 20/20 wheel setups is easily felt. The CS is a lot more than a list of have/have not items. Before buying, test drive both models and see for yourself if the CS feels superior to a Comp.

No problem at all - Buy a CS if your plan is to go track days as it was setup more for this than a daily driver hence lots of basic everyday driving options were removed from the build spec. You can code in dampers and gearbox to CS and for a tune that will do more than 10hp. When both were brand new list price it was not worth the money but now second hand the CS is not bad value for money.

Yes you are right but I was just stating the options list and for those who want the ultimate package option BMW offers as an option. I think the 19/20 wheel option is better for ride quality than the 20/20 but personally 666 is a very unique design vs the 763.

We didn’t have the Ultimate Package in the US so I had to search for it. I find it interesting how BMW offers different packages and standard vs. optional features in different parts of the world. Shows you how much market research goes into selling cars in different parts of the world or you could just do it the Porsche way and make everything an option.

Just the thought of cleaning the 666M makes me not like them

Fake OLEDs are nowhere near as nice as the real thing. The real OLEDs just glow and look like feathers/wings on the rear of the car, they are stunning to look at. I'd prefer standard LCI tails over the FOLEDs.

Also, here's a recent video on an M4 CS. You just cannot go wrong with this car, and as someone who has owned nearly very iteration of this generation, I cannot recommend it enough.

Indeed in the UK this was offered in the final years of production 2019-2020 to clear all inventory and customers got a decent saving of circa 4k from memory. In the US you don’t get the dual tone red tone CS OLED rear lights either on the CS due to it needing a red turn signal which personally does not look as nice or the adaptive ICONS. Hence BMW really does have to keep to regulations hence the purist form of the design is for the Europeans and then some compromises for the US market.

Agree not as easy to clean but nice to look at when they are 😁

Agree the FOLEDs are terrible and no where as good as the genuine OLEDs just a work of art and stunning when on. Night and day from the fake ones. Great review!

Mate, i've to disagree on that. they're both made in China but one says BMWOLED one just says OLED, but all the look and functionality are absolutely identical
