....how brave I am!!!.... If they start producing LCI in March, then I dont think Canadian dealers will get any in stock until May or somrthing....that's half a year to go, I cant wait that long to see my new beast. the only thing that I am praying now is the new LED taillights are swappable with 2010, |

As for the "Individual" stuff....I've been reading this forum, every day now, for the past couple of years. You are one of the people who have impressed me very much with your input and insight. Thusly, you are absolutely correct about the upcoming "Comp" package lowering the cost of my special-order items. I guess that's why the M division has pre-supposed or pre-determined that they'll be equiping my car with it. They've been really great and obviously have their customers' interests (and finances) in mind. And btw, my car will be a 6MT. I drove both versions for very extended periods and by far had much more fun shifting for myself. A fraction or so of a second ain't going to matter in the long run, will it?? Best regards, Mark |

As for MCB, yes it was offered (as an "Individual" paint option to me months ago) but I've since declined in favour of another color scheme that I'm waiting approval on. MCB is very pretty and very "M" but not what I want to do. Funny though....in mid-Nov I was asked to reconsider that color and received a whole raft of photos of it in differing lights. In other words, was BMW being frugal on my behalf and trying to save me some "individual" money by going with a "it'll be a standard color pretty soon" paint scheme???? I honestly don't know. But I wouldn't doubt it because M Division and Individual have been absolutely exceptional to deal with and have gone out of their way to accomodate my requests....and make them cost effective! Regards, Mark |

I read somewhere awhile back that some special parts were gonna be made available as factory upgrades, sorta like TRD/F line parts for toyota/lexus cars.
I am really hoping springs, special rims, brakes, aero bits will be available as options.

I have a coupe arriving here around the January 1st. Needless to say I will be drilling my dealer and anyone else I can for REAL information starting in about two weeks. Right now everything other than perhaps the LED tail lamps appears to be pure speculation for the U.S. market and that includes whether there's a price increase. Absent REAL information I will need to guess, hate that. The silver lining is that I will go with a two-year lease and grab a 2012 M3, probably the last model year of production. So, whoever has REAL information I would appreciate hearing from. Not meaning to slam others or their opinions. I certainly have mine. Thanks. |

So MFlight, what did you do??? More specific information on the Competition Package is as follows:
BMW Canada will be receiving official confirmation soon (I suspect shortly after ordering banks for the 2010 M3 close next week). I guess this doesn't help you guys from the U.S. I'm not sure whether you're getting it or not but unlike the "Edition" models this time around which were "Canada" only as far as N. America goes, the Competition option for the E46 M3 was available in both of our countries. Content should include a lowered/re-tuned suspension (probably the same 10 mm drop the Edition's got, maybe a touch more to split the difference with the GTS) with the new lightweight GTS wheels and more aggressive tires. I seriously doubt that BMW will fit the GTS tires (P Zero Corsa System's) to the car as these are more suited to the track. But Michelin makes PS2's in the GTS sizings, I'm not aware that Conti does (yet!). The whole package will be described as making the E92 more "agile". Therefore, a power increase isn't in the mix. Suits me fine, just gotta keep the rev's up, right?? And BTW, the Comp Pkg has already been added to my Individual specs. Someone other than me must be confident!! That's it for now, some of you may have more info so feel free to call me a liar and add....a special color or two Mark |

The dealer here in Germany tried to get some information regarding the competition package but was not successful. The only thing they told me was that were will be a 5% increase in price after March. I'm actually supposed to pick the M3 up in the beginning of January. I'm hoping that the suspension upgrade can be done after the fact through BMW.
Thanks...

And you're welcome (and don't worry about the Comp. Pkg if you were interested in upgraded brakes, there won't be any. The 10 mm springs from the Edition models will no doubt be available as OEM parts....but lots of $$$$). Regards, Mark |

Interesting info.
This reinforces the decision to only go with the 2-year lease before the e92 M3 launch back in March of '08. If memory serves me right, there were a few others on the board that went with the short-term option during the heated anticipation of the unveiling in late fall of '07. Perhaps I will order another at the well-timed and fast approaching lease-end, of course the competion pkg would'nt be complete without the hand-me-down brake upgrade off my '08. Cheers, Enjoy your Euro delivery!

Very nice. I will be building in May 2010 in the US. I do hope that it is available as an option here.
