Looks Great!!
I have a 2015 YMB M4 with black interior.. My service manager actually wants to buy it from me after it gets out of the shop for some repairs from my accident. Dealer has a SS ZCP M4 in stock and I told him lets work out a deal Only thing it is missing is Full Leather. A little bummed it has the Black Leather in it as well.. If it was full id prob be a little more excited.. bummed the interior is exactly the same as my current ... But not gonna stop me if I can swing a good deal. will more know on Friday I did start the ZCP up... exhaust is Mucho Better and just as you stated in your review the seats are better as well.. they definitely hold you better and the lack of lumbar for me is actually a good thing.. I hate the lumbar controls.. I have tried to dial them in numerous times and can never get the seat to fell quite right.. the ZCP has just enough padding for me and the lumbar would actually just get in the way again.

Thank you for taking the time to put up a solid review! makes my delivery coming up much more exciting.
i wanted to ask what is you past experience with adding spacers and lowering springs. my worry is the effect on the long term running of the car and of course the warranty. all posts show that pushing the wheel gap's makes the car look so much better but is it worth it in the long run? thank you in advance for any advice and first hand knowledge you can pass on to a first time M car buyer |

Thanks for the write-up and congratulations. That is a pretty nice impulse buy!
I'm living on threads like this as I wait for June 3rd!

See, a much better writer then me. My ONLY disagreement... Are the seats. I'm also 5'11"... 195lbs. I did 17,000 miles in my 15 M4, and just completed 2,377 miles in 9 days in the CP Car. TO ME... seats are completely the same. I did have 2 track days in the new car car also. I AM NOT a track guy.. Just saying to me... With PLENTY of seat time. They are the same feeling. Wife also agreed. No difference. I think we may have an on going 60/40% people feeling one way over the other. EDIT... I NEVER used lumbar anyway. |

Lowering springs will wear out a set of dampers earlier than normal, especially with a high spring rate. How much faster than normal? That's hard to say really. If you're worried about wearing out your stock dampers, go with a decent coilover that's properly valved for the spring rate you want to use. |

Congrats on the new ride, I really like that color and the wheels
Thanks for the great review and for not keeping us waiting for a long time. I agree with you on the 666 as they really need to be seen in the flesh to appreciate. I have always been a and still am a fan of rowing gears but this time I'm going with DCT and hopefully I will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed a Cayenne GTS auto. |

But the ZCP seats are different, I can show you the difference in a side-by-side pic. The ZCP have a different shape in the bolsters and shoulder wrap around. It might not be as evident to some, but it was very noticeable to me. |

Probably not. The seats come standard with a seat width adjustment. There is a ton of room for adjustment, btw. You just don't get the lumbar adjustment.

I feel like a 2015 M3 6MT and 2015 M3 DCT feel like totally different monsters on the track and daily driving. DCT cars are always louder and their throttle responses are always more immediate.
It's too bad you didn't opt for another 6MT or this review would have been different. Have fun w/ this one and drive it hard man, congrats! |

It's a long process and is better you don't attempt it unless you know what you're doing. It's not rocket science, but it is a little complicated. I wrote a post about this a long time ago on this forum, I'll see if I can track it down. Basically, you want to seat the rings against the cylinder wall and have the rings conform to the wall of the cylinder (cylinder lining wearing into the rings) as opposed to the rings wearing into the cylinder lining. If you put too much heat on them, the cylinder wall will glaze, not enough heat and the rings won't properly seat. The most critical part is the first 50 miles or so. I have broken-in countless engines on the dyno and street and my procedure has always produced engines that had less blow-by, therefore producing more power and consuming far less oil. I'll update this post when I find the link. I don't have time to retype the whole procedure. |

The car looks great. Please do post more pictures when you find the time. CP M4 in Silverstone is definitely something I am considering when the times comes to replace mine next year.
Thanks for sharing your impressions

I really didn't have much of a choice on this car as the car had a DCT. I have secretly wanted a DCT for awhile now (before the M4 was even conceived). My experience in the GT-R and Evo X piqued that interest years ago. The M4's M-DCT performs better than those two, if you ask me. |

Excellent!

As far as the Creaks and Rattles go, I'm sure you took into consideration that one's Brand Spanking New! Did the 2015 make these noises from the start? If so,that's actually good news (for some). IF not, how long before the 2K16 begins to haunt your aural nerves? Oh! On another note, I don't understand why everyone's so obsessed the Lumbar Support. If I had a bad back and needed Lumbar Support, I wouldn't even consider any sub-model/special edition labeled, "Competition...". Thanks again! |
