To be honest, ZCP is pretty much a ripoff. Save the $3k+ and just buy better springs and shocks. Your car will beat the shit out of an OEM ZCP M3 if you buy 3rd party track suspension.
I'd agree with the E92 part, but ZCP is becoming a substancial option again like it used to be on the E46. It's not just about the power (on a turbo engine, who cares), but they change things like bushing and a different steering ratio. Good luck trying to change that. Best thing is to bite the bullet and get it from factory. And if it's $3k, you get your money's worth than the E9x's Competition Package.
