ZCP is overrated. I have it.
I've heard that 18s are better for tracking, but they look noticeably smaller than 19s.

I opted for the ZCP only because the price was right. Not sure I would pay MSRP for that package, however, as been said, it will make your car more marketable should resale ever be a future consideration.

Curious, overrated based on what? Have you pushed a similarly equipped ZCP and M3 without it back to back on same course to compare? It would be interesting to hear an objective comparo like that

New M3 Sedan orderered! Thanks!
Hi, it’s the OP here - I meant to post here a while back to say thanks for all the responses, but I left on vacation shortly after placing the order, and have been inundated with work ever since. So, even though it's been almost 2 months, I'll say it now: Thanks for all the input!
I did do a lot of research, as several of you suggested, read a lot of threads, and ended up opting for the Competition Package. I first decided that I wanted the dynamic damping and control of EDC, which comes with the package. Then I decided I wanted the 19 inch wheels/tires, as I think they will give it a slightly firmer/crisper ride. The rest of it – slightly lowered center of gravity, the DSC mapping, the nicer looking wheels, etc. – was just gravy. To respond to a few of the many great posts: Quote:

I placed my order in early August, it entered production at the end of the month, and was aboard the Grand Venus by September 15, 2011. It is due in Port Hueneme on October 11, 2011, and I should be driving it within a week afterwards.

Thanks! As far as the pictures go, I imagine my car will look an awful lot like yours does (e.g., mine's also a Space Gray sedan, with Comp. Package wheels, etc.). Care to link me to the post where you shared your pictures when yours arrived?

Sure, but pics are crap! Three iPhone pics at delivery and have never posted newer ones. Have since done a few cosmetic mods, OEM Edition grills, IND painted reflectors, painted side gills, tri-color stitched e-brake and shift boots (IND also), OEM carbon fiber splitters and M5 paint scheme side-mirror covers (IND again!). Will do tint soon and debating exhaust but may just do the OEM Edition exhaust tips...

Your one year anniversary is coming up in two weeks. Do yourself proud and post those pics, as promised . . . . But I should say, even though you didn't post better pics, the ones you did post still show a beautiful automobile. I can't wait to get mine!

A well deserved calling out!! I will get some pics but they'll have to wait until I get a small ding on my passenger side rear wheel well fixed. Not major but right on the crease so the paintless dent removal folks can't really fix it...
