Woodcliff Lake, N.J.: January 13, 2016... The BMW M3 Sedan, M4 Coupe and M4 Convertible are already regarded as the perfect combination of high-performance sports car engineering with unrestricted everyday utility. From spring 2016, all three body styles will be available with a special Competition Package from BMW M GmbH that combines added sporty personality with enhanced dynamics. As well as extensive handling upgrades, the Competition Package also comes with additional equipment features and a hike in power that takes output to 444 hp.

The extra power means improved performance. The BMW M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe with optional 7-speed M Double Clutch Transmission (M-DCT) sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds (without Competition Package: 3.9 sec.), while the BMW M4 Convertible reaches the same speed in 4.1 seconds (without Competition Package: 4.2 sec). The sprint time for models with the standard 6-speed manual transmission is likewise 0.1 seconds faster in all cases than without the package.

The Competition Package includes Adaptive M Suspension, which has been extensively tuned to the enhanced performance and handling, and which features new springs, dampers and anti-roll bars, along with reconfigured driving modes (Comfort, Sport and Sport+). The standard Active M Differential on the rear axle and DSC Dynamic Stability Control have likewise been configured to match the upgraded dynamics. Forged, machine-polished, weight-and rigidity-optimized, multi-spoke 20-inch M alloy wheels (front 9J ×20; rear10 J ×20) with mixed tires sizes (front: 265/30 R20, rear: 285/30 R20) complete the list of chassis upgrades.

For the BMW M3 and BMW M4 Coupe, the Competition Package includes special lightweight M sports seats that combine additional support on the track with exceptional comfort on the street. Seatbelts with woven-in BMW M stripes cap off an extremely sporty interior ambience.

Eye-catching exterior highlights of the Competition Package include the M sports exhaust system with black chrome tailpipes. Even more than its good looks, the most distinctive feature of the M sports exhaust system is its potent sound, which brings added emotional resonance to the driving experience. The starting rumble and the distinctive burble on over run never fail to get under the skin of dedicated drivers time and again.

The Competition Package for the BMW M3 and M4 is topped off by extended BMW Individual high-gloss Shadow Line exterior trim. In additional to the already standard high-gloss Black finish on the the side window trim, window recess finishers and exterior mirror frames and bases, the Competition Package also includes high-gloss Black finish on the BMW kidney grille, the side gills and the model badge on the tail.

The Competition Package will be offered for a retail price of $5,500 on the M3 Sedan and Coupe and the $5,000 on the M4 Convertible.

So many ZCP threads

I look forward to the reviews coming out before making my decision.

Wow, just noticed price is included in the post. Tempting

[Mantii]

To be honest, not worth it. I'm sure a lot of people will still get it, but doesn't do enough for me, for the price. You can get much better power output while at the same time customize the looks of the car with various mods already available.
When I looked at the seats in the first picture, I was like "I'm digging these", then looking at the second pic below, I'm like "hell no". And don't get me started on those wheels.

Downpipe, tune, new m performance wheel, new m performance Coilovers, and you got yourself a better looking and more potent competition package for less money, most likely.

Just my 2 cents

[constantin]

Price isn't to bad. Considering the MPE alone is 4K+

[heart_doctor]

Not a huge fan of those wheels but this looks better than previous posts!

[cshums]

Are CCB's standard with the package?

What's the difference between the "m performance exhaust" and the "m sport exhaust" that comes with competition package??

[vincE92M3]

If I was in the market for an F80, I would go for the comp package.

[Ultimatespeed]

Is it me or do these wheels remind you of the Pontiac Fiero wheels?

[bd307]

Nope not competitive enough for me at that price.

[phoenixbmwlife]

Very nice!

[Tisaksen]

Any word as to whether or not the car will be lower compared to the standard F8x?

If you've heard an m5/6 with comp package vs one without... i am assuming that the m3/4 will be similar.

Slightly louder than stock but won't take away from people wanting the MPE

I'm not sure it's worth it ..... Not a huge fan of the wheels and the seats look hideous. I'm a bit disappointed to say the least.

[AtlantaDude]

Those seats......

[tsela_f80]

"Reconfigured comfort, sport, sport+ and m diff" I wonder if they are ecu based adjustments if us with pre comp package can just have our dealers update our cars??

If so that would be awesome

This isn't the MPE. It is the sports exhaust which as they state in the release is "cosmetic".

[EzequielR]

those wheels are
and unfortunately the seat belts look pretty bad too.

but these are only pictures... I'm pretty sure in person they will look better.... Well atleast I hope so.

Yes, there will be at least some type of dealer installed retrofit option for this. As to when it will be available, I'm not certain.

[Blindside_137]

Seems priced appropriately. It is a lot more than what was offered on the E92.

Power bump, suspension changes, and the seats/seatbelt are pretty great. Heck, I would tick the box. It is unfortunate that the wheels are such an abomination. Would have been nice to get the ZCP for 3k and skip the wheels.
