Ah, yeah, got it: I get busy at work too.

Anyway, good news is, with the holidays upon us, you'll finally get some time to take care of a few of those very important little things.

To some, probably. I personally feel that if I want a faster car, get a faster car.
I don't believe in modding a car because BMW couldn't get it right in the first place (quite a hypocrite since I put spacers and lowered ).

Having driven a comp pack M4 for a day whilst I was in Munich, I would not get another M without it. This is what the M3/M4 should have been from the start.

I don't know much about the used car market, and modded cars can work well there, but seems like if I thought I might sell my car in the first 3-5 years, I'd much rather put a ZCP with warranty left on the market. Both for speed-of-sale and price. but again I don't know much about that market.

and because modding a car rarely results in any returns when selling it, so getting the competition pack adds some value to it in the future when the time comes to sell it

Also, after I've added all the M Performance parts like MPE, CF splitters/ lip, rear diffuser, side blades, I feel that it needs nothing else and looks special......

finally,,,,,,because the black 666M wheels are sick!

I chose the ZCP with the 19' black rims, not particularly digging those silver 666'ers, now the black version....Want them!!

I first saw the 666M wheels but with aftermarket black paint, they looked ugly, had no character, it looked almost as if the car had no wheel. then I was shocked by how good the actual BMW Black ones are, they are more like charcoal black and change colors according to the lighting.....

these are the ugly aftermarket painted ones I meant....

I'm a bit out of the loop, what happened to your ZCP Vert that you ordered a while back?

I feel the silver 666 looks better than black 666

I find it depends on the colour of the car.

The black 437 looks better than the black 666

The silver 666 looks good imo

The 437M look better than 666M regardless of the colour of either IMO.

I find the black 666M look very good on Silverstone and Black cars.

I drove the comp pack around Circuit of the Americas during M Track days and I didn't notice much of a difference other than the burbles and the carbon ceramic brakes (which is not part of the comp package but a separate option) over my standard '17 M3.

Then again, I had a bunch of M performance mods (like the HAS) on it shortly after buying the car. The only thing I missed from the comp pack were those burbles.

Now that the OBD flash tunes are out it makes skipping the $5000 ZCP option ALOT easier. All I've ever wanted was the burbles and now I can get them for a fraction of BMWs cost.

Yes, you should totally do it... you will feel a great difference but it's awesome!

They're so divisive, those wheels. For me, the black 666 look best with most color cars, but the silvers look good with some of the basic Individual colors.

Totally agree!!

Why is this even a discussion? I wish I knew such thing existed, I jumped the gun and took the first one I saw -what a dumb move not spending 5K extra. Now people wants 4K for just the wheels, I don't even know if you can buy the seats and there is no way I will be able to get the same power boost and the handling with the factory warranty. So again why bother even thinking about it? If someone would like to order competition package I am willing to pay for it and swap non-zcp parts or even exchange my car.

Was not going with the ZCP as I did not like the seats or wheels at first. When back again today sat in both cars and my wife absolutely decided she wants the ZCP, well since it’s her car, okay. Actually the seats on the ZCP felt like they were a little more comfortable, first day we looked it was the reverse. The exhaust note push her over the edge to the ZCP as she wanted it to sound like my car, lol! So it’s on order, will see it around March I assume.

M4
YMB
DCT
Black 666 wheels

This should be interesting, her car may give mine a run for the money, lol!
