M3/M4 Competition Package details

[SFO]

Additional equipment:
20" bling wheels
M Sports Exhaust

More power (19hp)
Standard Advanced BMW sound system (HK upgrade £245 instead of £675)


Info from BMW GB Product Marketing:

The exhaust system on competition package M3 and M4 models is based on the standard M3/4 exhaust, with a modified rear muffler and exhaust flap management. This also includes a new engine start mode for the exhaust, to give additional acoustics. The aftersales M Performance exhaust system is different again, and also louder than the competition package system. The idea of the competition package exhaust modifications is to give a stronger character to the engine sound that is unique to the competition package models, whilst also being suitable for everyday use and not too loud for customers.

I’m afraid we don’t have specific weights for the wheels readily available, however with all changes to competition package models taken into account (suspension, wheels, seats etc.) there is minimal overall weight differences between standard and competition M3 & M4 models. In summary these are:

M3 – Manual comp model is 15kg heavier, the DCT versions are identical.
M4 Coupé – Manual comp model is 18kg heavier DCT version is 3kg heavier.
M4 Convertible – Manual comp model is 15kg heavier, DCT versions are identical.

The wheels look terrible to be honest.
If you could have the 437M wheels instead for the same price I'd say it's a decent deal.
With the HK being cheaper it's only £2500 in reality.

3k for that lot sounds like great value to me?

Agree on the wheels. Wonder is painting black will help

Its priced at 7,425 Euro in Europe?

Discounted M4/M3 with CP added makes an M2 look expensive.

I think it's good value if you like the wheels if you don't then you're paying 3k for 19hp and a few tweeks which is a lot, with the e92 CP the gorgeous wheels made all the difference.

Have my CP m4 lined up for end of March... Currently have an F80 m3.... Going to take advantage of a pre registered m4 due end of March... Although I'd probably prefer an m3 cp ... My previous car was an m4, so will be interested to see what the differences are...

Thoughts on m4 vs m3 cp?

So the handling is worse on wet bumpy roads, according to Autoexpress??

[NORTS]

I've no idea what these journalists are doing on these wet bumpy roads, but I've just driven across 15 miles of them 1000ft feet up, on very bumpy and rutted b roads lashing with rain at 1.5c and the car is great, not a CP but a standard LCI M3.

Mysteriously, I've managed over 10,000 miles in a M4 with no mishaps whatsoever!

Traction in my LCI is much better than in my previous F10 M5. It feels very compliant.

[s2000db]

I suspect that the shorter stiffer springs in the CP, will make the bumpy wet road handling worse..
Can't possibly see how it could be better despite the new dampers?

How are you getting on with your Continental tyres?
They are driving me to distraction on E92 M3...just can't get decent traction at all.

When was the LCI on the M3/M4?

M3 LCI was build date from July/August 2015 onwards. M4 hasn't had it's LCI yet and am not sure if ones built from july/august have the suspension upgrades.

They seem fine Peter, but I'm just running it in so haven't planted my right foot yet.
