Legislation will increase , it is inevitable and larger engines could be at risk in the future. But same power (or more) can be obtained using far less cylinders and electrification. The first BMW e cars are a good example of this. This is the showcase for the i8 in how to gain more using less. There is no other car like it on the market. That was years ago. Progress and legislation has increased that companies have to find progressive ways to innovate further to move them ahead to increase sales and appeal to customers. If you stay still you don't progress and you don't appeal to new and Current and new customers alike.

I am more interested in when the Comp Package will come out and what will be included. That date must be known inside BMW but is probably a well guarded secret.

I have heard the comp package will be revealed sooner than previous models.

I'm waiting for the competition package (to swap my car) but could not care less about cosmetic changes.

Competition Package
Any regrets not waiting? Currently have my car ordered, but hasn't even begun production (been 2 weeks). Just feel like there's been so much talk about a competition package lately it's gonna come out a few short months after I get my car with s modest HP boost, different whee revised suspension and steering since they're getting lots of flack on lack of feel. All rational sides of me are saying fuck it considering ill prolly trade in after 3-4 years for something newer and better but the irrational side knows I'm gonna be slightly jealous for not waiting.

Its tough bc there is always going to be something on the horizon no matter what you buy IMO. The M is a great car I love mine more and more everyday I drive it.
plus there is no info stating that there is a comp pkg coming its all speculation, it could be years before they release it who knows!

I definitely hear you on that, but with the e9x the comp pack didn't come out until what? 2-3 years, I feel like this generation they're gonna hop right into it. All things considered I'm growing more excited and anxious for my car day by day.

As to handling & parts, the car is really excellent as is, unless you really plan to hit Germany or track on a daily basis. Plus you don't have to wait to drive this thing!!

I would think certain aspects of it would be, similar to the M5. The question is at what costs.... Per BMW

I installed JB4 as my answer to the competition package.

Except power is only one aspect of the car... I'm expecting they will tweak the suspension a tad and maybe MDM as well. That and there is still a warranty

No one really knows yet. However, if I'm guessing then I think there will be a power bump (+/- 25hp), a slightly lowered suspension, revised MDM programming and new wheels. Similar to the competition package on the E9X but with a factory power tune as it is so easy to do on the F8X. I also wonder whether they would build in more camber range/adjustment than the current car.

Traditionnaly, Competition Packs on the M3 were not about more power but rather about improved handling; as was the case for the E46 and E9X.
Although this time around, it is possible it might also get a little power bump, since it so easy to do on a turbocharged engine. However, my feeling is that all new S55s will get a power bump when the M2 gets released. |
