I believe this is adding to the look and stance of this car as well.

The latest continental sports car/summer tires are in no way a downgrade from a Michelin pilot sport.

US cars don't get the start/stop. But for those cars that have it, yes you can turn it off.

IF you had a choice you would choose Continental's at 1/3 of the cost of a true performance tire?? This is supposed to be a "Competition Package"!! how about some Michilen Cup tires or Bridgestone 070's or even Pirelli's
again BMW cheaped out. If my Coupe arrives with Continental tires on a Ordered Comp Pkg I will refuse the car and order another. Current incentives on the 2011 stink right now anyways!

Because re-ordering the same car changes its factory specifications?

I'll bet you can get one at or near invoice if you take the time to shop around. It's gonna have the same tires though.

The latest michelin pilot sport cup+ is an OEM factory tire for e9x m3's

and yes I would choose a conti over a Michelin.

My track car has hoosier r6's and my track/street car has bridgestones on the weekend and conti DW's for the street

bmwrockzz · 04-06-2010, 01:43 PM

Congratulations your car is very very beautiful

JMAT · 04-06-2010, 02:38 PM

looks good, i like the wheels

JayeJaymes · 04-06-2010, 10:06 PM

congrats man, looks soo clean!

Quicks · 04-06-2010, 10:55 PM

this package should be standard on M3s

I disagree since I don't need EDC and am fine with 18s.

I do think they should offer the ZCP 19s for the same price as the standard 19s though. And yeah, the suspension should probably just be at the ZCP hieght to begin with. The other thing is that all M3s should get 10 inch wide wheels in the back, and yes, they should put the actual 285mm rubber on them like on the GTS.

These cast wheels should be quite cheaper than the forged 19" as a separate option.

Let's not give BMW some crazy ideas for pricing, please.

Thanks for the pics. I think can see some difference on the front end but the rear end is difficult to tell. Nice car enjoy it.

Bubbles · 04-08-2010, 06:34 AM

The ZCP wheels need to be wrapped in wider rubber.
