To me they are at best spun cast, so that's the reason this package is not that expensive by BMW standards. Hell, I could even say that it is quite attractive for those that anyway will be dropping their EDC M3 without any concerns about damaging it with aftermarket springs. In comparison, I spent some $2400 getting my E46 ZCP wheels and Eibachs installed on top of the EDC option cost... |

I'm going to get this for sure, because if not i'll drop at least $2000+ on wheels and tires anyway.
The GTS rims are sexy and with the included springs, I think pricing is really good, in my perspective. |

As always, your car looks great. Have you considered updating your trunk and taillights to LCI?

yeah buy the time you get some cheap 19's with tires and shipping, its well over $2400. i want the option just for the GTS wheels. i would be nice if you can get both GTS and Stock 19' wheels.

I agree, hopefully we can get some comp brakes like we had on the e46 M3 and direct steering ratio. It would suck if we Only got wheels, lowered suspension and different EDC... I Hope BMW will add more things later like brakes at least, alcantera interior fixtures would be good too lol.... well see what happens.....

Not much to the package. I was expecting more. Maybe we don't have all the details yet.

I'm pretty sure we do. And based on the $2,500 option price, I would be surprised if that package has more in it than what we already know.

it's not that bad price imo, thought it would go over 3k for sure...
hmmm 2.5k with 19s, lowered by factory and revised EDC... not too shabby a deal!

I will now be keeping my car when the lease is over. There's NOTHING here to make me "upgrade."

Well.....it's better than nothing. It's just not enough to make me trade up, which is what I was hoping for. If I were shipping a new M3 I'd want this package, but I want a real competition package, not an appearance package.

Everyone's slamming this thing but for $2500 you get better wheels than the $1200 option and EDC and some springs etc. So $1300 for EDC and springs - not bad in my opinion.

i was really hoping for a slight bump in power or some alcantra stuff (comp steering wheel would have been great). $2500 is not so bad though for wheels, springs, and new edc setting.

That's what I was thinking. They may look better, but they're likely cast.

I believe they are cast, but Mark's M has indicated that they could be lighter than our 19" forged wheels. Mark, if you're out there, can you shed some light on the weight issue?
