"Competition Package" Available for March (Updated)
Hope this photo hasn't yet appeared, looks like this may be a Competition Package car with the new March/2010 tail lights and other LCI upgrades not visible. Hopefully the new GTS wheels (silver in this photo) will be a part of the package as will the 10mm suspension drop as previously offered on the "Edition" models. A brake upgrade would be nice, a functional touch similar to what they added on the previous gen M3 Comp. package. Motor/power specs will remain the same though.
My March-production "Individual" M3 is just about finished the design stages and BMW M will be providing me with the final confirmed specs very shortly. It's taken one extremely interesting year (and dozens of e-mails back and forth to Munich) to get it right but it's an adventure I'll never forget. No photos or story about the entire experience until the car's sitting in my driveway though.....which will be about a month after it takes a few break-in laps on the "Ring" 'cause that's where I'm picking it up. I won't give away any company secrets but for those of you debating on buying an E92 M3 in the near future, schedule yourself for a March & beyond build. You won't regret it.

OOOPs, sorry. But I posted more for the info than the pic. And I thought I'd read everything!! And double apologies as of Dec 4th.....I really don't ever read the subsection of the forum where this pic (and the rest of the accompanying shots from Autoblog) appeared. I've seen them now since my post got moved. I owe everyone a Sailor Jerry I guess!!! Last edited by Mark's M; 12-05-2009 at 01:38 AM.. |

Again, these changes aren't going to be overwhelming but they'll certainly add to the appeal (and to a small extent, the performance) of the 03/10 and beyond production cars. Hope this helps, Mark |

Not yet. But I've spec'd out my car with bits and pieces from the euro "Edition" model (thus far approved) and I understand that the Comp. pkg will overlap with some of the stuff (eg. lowered suspension). I'm hoping for upgraded brakes as I track for fun once per year. Either way, BMW M has already pre-supposed that I'll be adding the Comp. pkg which is already adding to the (somewhat unknown) excitement of what I'll be getting.
Again, hope this helps....Mark |

Sounds exciting. Great to see a competition package will be offered in 2011. Who knows the "unknown excitement" is lighter weight or a boost up in power of around 430 HP.

One question here...Some threads on M3 LCI have mentioned that there will an upgrade on new iDrive and a 8.8" display......
isn't the current model already with the new iDrive and 8.8 display? |

They were supposed to be integrated for MY2010 but delayed until March production. |
