I'm either picking it up in NJ or at PDC in SC, and then travelling back to Texas after visiting friends in NC, and possibly via Houston to pick up my parents from NZ. So in the first few days of having it, I will be covering between 1400 and 2000 miles over 4 or 5 days. Should give me a good idea of what the seats are like etc, although I can't compare to the current model - only to my 335i. |

1) I don't have an F8x 2) I'd almost rather CP was not this good so I could have spent the $5500 Obviously I've heard of people over hyping stuff. But I'd much rather give the OP the benefit of the doubt until I can personally test drive a CP, rather than listen to 15/16 owners that have most likely never even driven the new cars. To me, it's all about perspective. He's extensively driven both, whereas you guys haven't. Can't really shoot down his credibility when you guys don't really have any either when it comes to CP. Not to mention pretty much every review I've read says the same thing the OP is saying. Why would a magazine like EVO lie about the CP's improvement?

Second, as I've said it a few times now, I'm sure it is improved, but the driving a different car comments seem over the top to me no matter who it is coming from. Just like when magazines trash the M3/4 in reviews. I look at those skeptically as well. It seems there are two thoughts getting mixed up here. If I was ordering a new car would I order the CP package? Yes and I would replace the wheels immediately. Would I trade in or sell my car to get a ZCP car at a decent sized financial loss, no. Unless I somehow miraculously was able to do it without said loss then why not. Who wouldn't? The question I and I think others are asking/wondering, is it really that big of a difference between the two cars as some are claiming. I agree with you that it will be up to the individual buyer and what they think. If it is cool, more power to them. |

Great car. I am not a fan of the wheels at all but everything else including the seats is awesome. Great choice on the DCT! Having driven almost exclusively old school manuals for the last 30 years and now enjoying my '16 F80 DCT I will never own the old school butter churner "stick" variety again. The DCT is that good. Congrats on the awesome car.

I think a lot of people are missing one MASSIVE factor. The OP jumped from a MY2015 car to a MY2016 ZCP.
The difference between non-ZCP 2015 and non-ZCP 2016 cars is quite significant. That includes revised dampers, software, traction control etc. When you add the ZCP in the mix, it is one hell of a change I believe. |

I may have missed the memo on this but other than the LCI on the F80, few cosmetic changes in the interior (chrome trim around the vents) and few changes on the options (HK Standard, etc.) what changed Would you consider this change significant?

I believe Der meant to say there was a big diff between a 2015 non-ZCP F82 and a 2016 ZCP F82 (in reference to the OPs previous and current F82s)

I have to completely disagree with you here. In fact, there really hasn't been any real significant updates between the 2015 and 2016.....minor things, mostly cosmetic. Some state that *maybe* the exhaust sounds "different". The first "significant" update that has been shown, at least anecdotally, to change the driving dynamics of the car has been the ZCP package, and "significant" is entirely in the eyes of the beholder. I haven't driven one, so I cannot say whether or not I would. However to state that the changes between equally optioned non-zcp 2015 and 2016 cars are "significant" I think is a stretch.

^ ignorant comment when it comes to leasing vs buying. When you buy a car and sell it, you lose out on the depreciation. Same thing when you lease only the numbers are in stone and you have very little liability

Look, like I said, enjoy your ZCP, it's a great car, and I would, without a doubt, get a ZCP if I was buying an F8x today. As for your financial losses, or lack thereof, I doubt your claims, but that's neither here nor there. The average person would certainly lose $10-15k in depreciation were he/she to trade in his 2015 F8x for a 2016 F8x ZCP today. Maybe you didn't. Good on you.

I picked up my 2015 in October of 2014, and although I got a great deal (BMW military overseas sales program), I would still take a significant financial hit were I to sell it today, and even more so were I to trade it in today. Perhaps the OP is a financial buying/selling genius. More power to him. I'm not, and I would lose money. According to KBB, if I sold to a private party, I would lose about $5k, and if I sold to a dealer, I would lose about $10k. That's not including the cost of the ZCP, nor including the likely cost of returning some things to stock which would be necessary for trading in to a dealer (ECU flash, removal of DPs, etc...) Again, the ZCP is undoubtedly better than the non-ZCP, but its not a Ferrari to Ford Pinto comparison, as the OP makes it out to be.

Sure, whatever. If you think so. Go drive your Ferrari (with the 12" wheel gap) and I will drive my Pinto.
