When did you place your order?

About 3 weeks ago

Congrats. Placed mine on Feb. 5th with a week 9 build. Mine is still at status 112. Just anxious to see when mine will start.

Apologies for the off topic comments.

Power rises by a small and not hugely significant 19bhp thanks to a minor redesign of the cylinder head, hiking the output from the 3.0-litre twin turbo straight six to 444bhp.

This one also caught my attention.

I seriously doubt this to be true. It would not make sense to have two different spec S55 engine heads. IMO, the power bump is a result of revised software, period.

Would love to know the answer...

sounds like an E92 NA motor type of comment... maybe they got something confused and thought of the m3 gts

Irishsig · 02-23-2016, 03:46 PM

I'd love to know more about the new "sports exhaust".
And of course how the sound differs from the current.

RocketBoots · 02-23-2016, 04:37 PM

Seems like both of the reviews are plagued with inaccuracies. "thanks to a minor redesign of the cylinder head" I'd be very surprised if this was true. However, they both liked it in the end. If I were getting an M4 today, I'd definitely get it, unless I got a stripper. I also wonder how much of it can be retrofit, and if it would make sense cost wise.

No sense at all. Unit cost + Labor cost to retrofit + waste of what you already paid for make it a sure no go. Then add re-coding of the car to accept many of the parts and it's much better to wait until it's time to trade up

I'd get it...

... and probably still take the stripper

Curious as well what this sports exhaust is? Maybe they are just getting confused with the black tips and new valve adjustment for MY16 cars ??
Is it possible to order without the 666 wheels and get a credit?

It is confirmed that the CP is getting a different part number for the rear muffler (over and above the black tips), similar to what was done on the M5 CP. What the changes entail remains speculation, but a combination of less sound deadening and/or different baffles and/or different pipe perforation arrangement would be my guess.

This, I would seriously doubt. Right now, it seems that it is not even possible to substitute the wheels at no cost.

visi107 · 02-23-2016, 05:22 PM

Don't you guys think the positive reviews are kinda predictable anyway? I mean with all the new suspension parts they put on, of course it should handle better right? it's kinda a given.

Nope, dont think so.

I want the Competition package but 20 inch rims (despite that hey have grown on me) with low profile tires are a no go for far to many reasons.

Why won't BMW offer the 19 inch 437s as a no cost option especially for those that need a bit more side wall when they hit bad pavement.

If you want the competition package then just order it and swap to 19's. I'm sure plenty of people would be willing to swap or worst case you should be able to sell the 20's for as much as a set of 19's to break even.

Good advice, it may come down to that after all.

unless you are leasing, then you can't do this . . . .or do it and re-swap at lease turn in

If you're leasing, you can buy a set of 19's and sell them at the end of the lease for a slight loss. It will probably end up costing you a couple of hundred dollars at the very most to use them for three years.

BMW will be releasing many of the parts for retrofit as part of their performance catalog. And yes, the power bump is purely software, nothing to do with the cylinder head...

Powerslide · 02-23-2016, 08:56 PM

Per Autoexpress and Autocar - it seems that they both agree that the car feels more "raw" in terms of handling and ride - I cannot wait to go for a test drive and drive my "civic" M3 to and from the dealership before and after...

What would also be great is if BMW NA does the M Performance tour that hits the major US cities just like last year (with the M3/M4/M235i) but instead this year does the (M3CP/M4CP/M2)... I have a feeling a lot of people will sign up for that (especially since the all-day event was $750 - I'd do that again in a second - especially if it is the updated lineup!

JoeFromPA · 02-23-2016, 08:58 PM

I have the strong suspicion that BMW 666 wheels are going to hit the dust bin of history pretty quickly.

If they truly added 19bhp, new sways and springs, wider rubber, and a sportier exhaust as well as revised steering and DSC...that's not bad for ~$4k. That's not even M tax
