Why would they only offer the 20's in chrome/silver when they are blacking every other trim element? Makes no sense, unless they want the dealer to make more money in aftermarket powdercoating fees.......

I agree, doesn't make much sense. I'm really not a fan of the 666 wheels at all, but they would look much better in black IMO.

Black wheels look great if you don't want anyone to see what your wheels look like from more than 3 feet away.

Thats why i like the 437M black wheels-- the silver highlights give you the best of both worlds.

[KingpenM3]

I guess I'm just glad the zcp wasn't offered when I ordered my car, because I'm sure i would have talked myself into it.

[Kief]

Most likely I will drink the Kool Aid and check off the ZCP box this time next year when I replace my alpine white over sakhir orange M4 with a tanzanite blue over silverstone M3 with ZCP.

It's the latest and greatest from BMW and it's just the natural progression of things...

Rear air suspension must be a typo - haven't seen in anywhere else, and I'm sure BMW would have mentioned it in the press release.

I call BS.

[MrSmileyDC]

Not too bad of pricing if you were already planning to order adaptive m suspension and 19" wheels. Like others I wish you could opt to not get the 20" wheels. I would check this box over full leather if I had to choose between the two though. I imagine for folks that order the ceramic brakes bumping up to a size 20" would help with the issue a few reported of caliper clearance and rocks getting stuck between the wheel.

I was randomly checking through a few M4 inventories at dealerships, and noticed the "rear axle air suspension" description under the Adaptive Suspension option. Seems like a typo or an off description for the EDC option.

Maybe they meant "herr suspension."

[terahertz]

Why is there 7MA and 7MN?

It's the anti-Christ wheel.......

[Pennzoil]

I don't really expect air suspension will better than normal suspension .... I tried 7 series , Benz e63 , w205 c class .... All those just make me feel like a "boat" when driving fast:

I don't think it would have rear air suspension. Look:

I just opened up the BMW DCS Order Bank and it did not give me an option to add a "Black" varation of the 666 wheels or to de-select the 66 wheels to add the 437 Black or Silver wheels. I guess it's just Silver 666 wheels with ZCP or no ZCP at all...

[JoeFromPA]

Air suspension requires not just complexity but a good amount of weight for the compressor and air tank. And space to put it in.

My vote is mistake.

Could code 488 be the delete option for the electric seasts?

This comp pack is a great deal if you were going to get, adaptive suspension and black wheels .That's $2200 dollars in savings on the comp pack then. SO essentially you pay $3300 for more horsepower and revised suspension, DSC and Differential tuning.

It will also save you money on adding the black grille, side markers and black M3 badge and not to mention that the exhaust is beefed up in the sound dept. So that's like another $1k in cosmetic mods savings for things 80% of owners want to upgrade. For me this comp pack would really be costing $2200. I consider that a steal.

[shivaswrath]

It can't be a typo if it's mentioned later as package 2VF on page 4 of 6 -->the air suspension is real?!

So my Euro order would be ($60k base):
X10 - Azurite Blue ($1950)
ZAML or ZAP5 - Amaro or Nutmeg (torn; $1350)
ZCP - Comp Package ($5500)
ZEC - Executive Package ($3500)
2MK - M DCT ($2900)
6NS - USB ($350?)
ZLP - LEDs ($1900)
=$77,100...still seems like a lot for an M3

Wish I could add to my order... Alas I will just need to settle for a civic M3! Still can't wait!!

It's real easy to get an $80K M3 these days, even without a Competition Package. The new reality of 2016

I don't even think that helps:

LOL I don't think so. You are worrying too much?
