Love the color choice…though I am partial to mineral white! I got the clear reflector covers instead of the color-coded ones as I thought the colored ones look a bit odd. I have heard that the clear ones can change color over time, though I have had mine a year without issues. They are relatively inexpensive so I figure I will just replace them again if they discolor.

Welcome and congrats! Here are a few pics...

Now.. Besides the sticker, which clearly states competition package, how can I make sure the car has the package? I'm curious if it has it at all, since it doesn't have the wheels.

Plug the VIN into the BMW Parts ETK site (log in with the credentials shown on the page) and click the Options button to see the original factory options list: http://www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/acc...catalogue.html. Or if you know someone who does coding, have them pull the VO from the car, which is an embedded list of the option codes that came from the factory as well as official retrofits that have been applied. A VO can be modified by someone who knows coding, but adding option codes the car doesn't actually have can cause the car to throw codes (not sure if that would be true on ZCP as long as you at least ordered EDC though). I'd help you for free if you were local. But if it's on the Monroney sticker, I can't imagine how it wouldn't be on the car. ZCP isn't something that would be easy to uninstall, so to speak, and forging a Monroney doesn't seem very likely.

A friend of mine just bought a ZCP car used and had the dealer swap the 359s for 220s because the 359s had been scuffed pretty badly.
