Where did you hear this info?

my thoughts exactly!
6MT now, however...

I drove M3 DCT and it is very involved, also loved the sound of rev-match on downshift...

also, many times I wanted-needed to be driven in my M3, but my lovely passengers could not drive 6MT...

May have missed it elsewhere, but does this mean both cars are going to be launched then allocated at the same time?

Yes, simultaneous launch.

[cjwb1984]

Common, BMW can the US version get San Marino blue as one of the colors. Its a no cost option in the M6.

[FSHNGRY]

Well, after looking at that order guide, I have come to 2 conclusions:

1) The competition package will be out after the first model year.
2) Its a very safe, and realistic assumption to say this car will cost close if not more then 80k.

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.

If I remember correctly...

ZCP was 2200 or so. Maybe 2500. It would have cost 2000 for EDC and 19" separately.

So essentially, 200 or 500 more for wheels I like more, and a lower ride height.

The first model year of the F80 M3 will be 2015. You think it will just be a one-year run?

Edit: I was wrong. First production run will be MY14s.

.....a 2015 released in 2014!!! What he was basically trying to say to that guy is, "Live a little!"

Maybe he needs to save up for one
Maybe he wants to wait for BMW to work out all the first-year kinks
Maybe he wants the LCI
Maybe he wants to wait for the ZCP package
Maybe, maybe, maybe

A man can make plans, can't he?

2PN - 18" Light Alloy Wheel V-Spoke Style
459 - Power Seats
4MC - Carbon Fiber Interior Trim
494 - Heated Front Seats
609 - Navigation system
ZMT - Manual Transmission

Simply amazing and the way it should be!

I agree to this...

Standard equipment is awesome, maybe just add the park distance control and split rear seats and BMW enhanced bluetooth

..and maybe he'll lose both of his legs before accomplishing all of that. I've seen it happen.

I love this car but hate BMW Navigation. It is on our e89/Z4 35i and I would never pay for it again if I had a choice.

[SamS]

This is all good news.

Option 2VY (437M) must be the 5-star split spoke wheel seen on the Yas Marina Blue car, i.e. the launch wheel.

Probably means they're saving up the better (IMO) wheel for the 2016 ZCP version?

Good thing the standard navigation on the M3/M4 is not the same as what you have on your E89

Imola Red, Yas Marina Blue, Estoril Blue, Laguna Seca Blue, etc. Austin finished constructing a new F1 track last year.

Have no clue why. I have been to COTA mulitple times, will be there in a few weeks for the race. Nothing is yellow.

I hope comfort access can be ordered on stand alone, don't like everything the executive package. Hopefully the base price is close to the e9x m's.
