I'm having doubts about ordering the competition pack. The only materially different things are the suspension and steering. Boost is trivial and exhaust pales in comparison with an Eisenmann which I would install anyway.
Personally I love the suspension as is so it's not something I would care about. $6k seems like a lot to pay for steering improvement. Does anyone have a sense of how CP affects resale. With CP my build is speccing out at $122k. - Exec Pkg - DA pkg - LED pkg - Comp Pkg with 343M - Bang and Olufsen - Full Individual Leather - Bang and Olufsen

Although having those memories with adjustable side bolsters would have been that much sweeter.

I want the suspension improvements! But then again, I might just wait for a sleeve over kit and some good anti roll bars to hold me over. The dyno chart seems like it was improvised lol, the power increase is perfectly linear!

Don't forget about life and age passing by, we're not immortal after all as they say " it's good to have mustard in time, not after dinner" or "a spoon is dear when lunch time is near" etc. I once counted that if I live, I'll see 4 more generations of M5 and, considering age and money, I would visualize myself in 2/4 of them. BMW is playing on emotions and desires of passionate customers but their "evil CEOs" won't live forever to use (abuse?) all the money victimized enthusiasts throw at ///Ms.

A few short months after I collected my M5, some guy asked in this forum about the LCI M5. I thought he was an idiot to be asking about LCI when the car just started shipping. Turns out, i was the idiot. M cars really do ship just before the LCI is introduced to the series cars. Lesson learnt. I will not be considering buying the next M car at least until a year and a half later...

"In summary, springs rates and damping rates are increased by 20%, stabilizer rates by 15% and the steering ratio by 10%. See below for the information, as well as a steering ratio chart and torque/power dyno graph."
Can anyone comment on whether the 20% increase described above directly translate into a 20% harsher ride in all 3 suspension settings or does it not work like that? |
