If I already owned an M5 the comp pkg upgrades aren't worth the cost or effort, but new, I will seriously consider it.

The 2014 AMG's offer an S package with 4wd and 585hp...this is no S class!
So the Comp Pkg; 1) no diff in wheel weight 2) less than 3% HP increase at top end(insignificant) 3) no ///M performance exhaust(just different tips and slight change in sound) 4) steering not much different to non comp-pkg 5) stiffer & 10mm lower suspension My hard -earned $7,300 for what? Unless I'm tracking on a regular basis why would I give this to an already hugely profitable company? This exhaust should be standard on M5's...buyers of these high performance cars don't expect a subdued exhaust. On the contrary, most want to hear a wicked sound. |

The Comp Package wheels are a half-inch wider than the 343Ms.

But they mount the same width Michelin PSS's as the 343M's.

^ True, but that means they'd accommodate larger tires if you wanted to fit them, assuming the tires cleared elsewhere of course. The stock tires would also look a bit different mounted and might have very minor performance differences because of the slightly different sidewall profile on a larger wheel, but that would be minimal at best.

Which means they'll stretch out those tires to have a wider contact patch, and stiffen their sidewall for less tire compression.

Interesting. The same wheel model number has different sizes depending on the car they come equipped on? Is this a BMW first?

That just looks like an LCI M5 with the carbon brake package and some blacked out bits -- not the Competition Package.

Well atleast BMW is being consistent about the experience, 2012s missed the NAV, 2013s now missing comp/updates.. who knows what the 2014s will miss.. LOL. Its the nature of the beast there will always be next and better. If your not into this constant one upping then buy an exotic (or even a Porsche) .. they are not as bad.

More info on torsion bar and stiffer front bushings if possible. Which bushings on which suspension component? Is it a modest upgrade? I wonder how much different March build cars feel.
