The other thing about that car is that pretty much any aftermarket exhaust (with rare exception) makes it sound much worse than stock. |

Essentially sounds like flatulence So, I guess I do have an issue with how the car sounds, it's just a very specific scenario for me. When I first test drove a 6MT I hated it - was extremely turned off by the BOV sound during upshifts. But now that I'm getting to know the car I'm tolerating it and even, dare I say, starting to appreciate that particular funky noise as it means "business". |

I love how the car sounds. It's raw and primitive, like a true sports car. Oh, and on the track you can hear many cars sounding like that. The fart upon lift off after wot is great and many porsches do that too. Love doing that under bridges with the windows down.
It's a freeflowing exhaust. Anybody here who puts sound over substance/performance must have bought the wrong car. |

Are the headlights that big a deal? If not how about ZCP and CCB only? |

I bought Japanese sporty cars in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. They were all "strippers", because there really weren't any options. All the interiors were black and they were all manual transmission.
In 1999 I bought a 2000 S2000. That car was also a "stripper" because it didn't have any factory options, only dealer-installed appearance items. It didn't even have a clock! I buy the car with the packages/options that I want at the time I buy the car and the period that I'm going to own the car. I don't understand people that buy a car for the next person that's going to buy it used from them, or for the trade-in value, just because they might lose a few dollars on the resale because they didn't order their car with the "popular" colors and options. Since I've owned "stripper" cars most of my life, I've ordered my BMWs with all the packages/options that make sense to me and meet my needs and wants. And now I can afford that. Since I'm a techie guy, I like all the bells and whistles, and none of that makes an M car any less of an M car, or drive any differently than a stripper. I also don't see how asking a bunch of random people on a forum what "you" should buy makes any sense at all. Not one of those people are going to live with your car every day. Or make any of the payments.

BMW did it right with the 335is Coupe. The best sounding stock BMW exhaust that I can recall. Until the F8x M3/M4 ZCP. That exhaust is also awesome!

I like relatively low options not because they change the way the car drives (they don't) but simply because I don't see any value in those items and I'd rather save the money. |

i usually get my car with less options as there would be less things to break in the future. I only wanted the adaptive suspension and hk audio. led lights are meh, executive package no thanks don't need a shit ton of cameras that will break. Honestly I don't even use the nav in the car I just use my phone. Even the base car has all the tech stuff I want. I might of gotten zcp but it wasn't out when I bought the car.

Reading the recent posts is funny to me. The only options I really wanted was ZCP and HUD (got it in my F30 and I love it). I could care less about the rest and I am annoyed that BMW keeps bundling things that don't need to be bundled. Kinda makes a custom car not so custom and I guess that is the point because it simplifies the ordering / manufacturing process big time. With my F30, leather, navi and HUD, were the only non-performance options I got, seems like the new one is coming with a bunch of extra crap just to get the same things I had on my F30.
