ZCP ordering 220 vs 359

BOOF-M3 · 05-06-2017, 06:41 PM

There is a car ad for a 2011 E92 on one of the main car websites. The ad says competition package but the wheels are 220style. Had an email conversation with the private seller and he states it most definitely has ZCP but the original owner "upgraded" to the 220 wheels. Does anyone know if it is possible to order ZCP and actually downgrade to the 220's? I am aware it's not desirable but could they have done it, and perhaps BMW gave them a credit for the inferior wheel set up?

The wheels were swapped after sale or maybe at the dealer. I don't remember a way to change them from the factory

His email states "They were upgraded from BMW with the car order by first owner". So that would make sense that it was done after. Maybe they had an E93 customer and the dealer helped with a swap. Well, then I guess I will have too look further into the purchase of the car as I am interested. Thanks for adding some clarity.

Ask for the vin number and use one of the decoders online to check if it has ZCP

I already checked but I don't see where it says ZCP in the decoder, which is surprising because I'm like Batman. Can I PM it to you?

If everything isn't adding up then something is not right with what they are telling you.

It will say S7MA Competition package.

Teamwork! Checking now.

BOOF-M3 · 05-06-2017, 07:38 PM

"I am not a robot" I love those picture things. It does not show S7MA and it does show the S2MT 220 tires. Well that explains that. Thanks UPS. You can all go about your business again, case closed.

As a side note, how does the "reputation" work? Is it an accumulation of "appreciates"?
More to it than that? Is there a forum, sticky or post that explains all this?

So, the dealer added premium by claiming their m3 with ZCP or just wrong info?

Do you get the car op?

Not a dealer, PVT sale. Seller just emailed me. He has owned the vehicle for two years and was not aware that it did NOT have ZCP. He ran the vin# this morning and now realizes that the car is not equipped with ZCP. He's correcting his ad as we speak. Nice guy, no intent to deceive.

Also, just a heads up nobody upgrades from 359s to 220Ms. Other way around. Most find that 359s are the best looking wheel on E9Xs.

roastbeef · 05-07-2017, 09:48 AM

Poor guy is now wondering what he has been missing out on...

Goes without saying. But now it has been said. Lol.

Dig up some posts from 2010-2011 on that subject. There were definitely people who preferred the 220Ms and some who wanted ZCP with them. They are just not in style now.

Best looking, maybe, but 220s are lighter and forged.

[has 220s, really wants a set of 359s...]

Don't worry about that Ace, you will never get 3 people to appreciate anything you post.
