So riddle me this Batman, could we theoretically put 275's and 305's on the Competition Pack 601M wheels?!?!?!

I am curious why the M6 gets wider wheels standard though.

Part of the $17,000 price difference you get with the M6.

Fitting a carbon fiber roof would require new crash testing as it would technically be a different body structure.

The thread with the M5 Nighthawk states it has the Competition Package, but without the Competiton Package wheels.

Yup, you were right. I assumed the lack of the Competition wheels meant that it was merely an aesthetic upgrade, but I was wrong.

I am excited by this package. I hope the steering feel is improved. Now if they can chop some extra weight via carbon fiber front/rear bumpers and Hood/trunk to make this a legit competition pkg.

Personally I think it is a complete waste unless you are tracking. Drive the new 2014 F13 M6. It has the new steering, which is awesome as-is. The new springs on the comp pkg STILL leave quite a gap. Yo can drop $400 on H&R, which I have on BOTH my M5 and M6 and they significantly enhance the ride with a much lower center of gravity (not to mention the look of the increased drop) and you can install downpipes for under $3K installed to more than increase the power through the ENTIRE RPM range. IMO the wheels are just not very aesthetically pleasing either. I would still end up getting a set of HREs or ADV1s. Just ordered a 2014 M6 coupe today and I passed on the comp package. Not enough value for what you get. The handling gets to a point where good enough is good enough. I could not have gotten the new F13 to handle turns and slides any better (until it is lowered).
Putting that $8K towards a Vorsteiner kit |

BTW...FORGET EVERY CRITICISM I made about the comp. pkg above.....Now, having slept on it I am adding it to my order..not because I think it is a value...because if I don't I will LOSE SLEEP EVERY NIGHT wondering "what if?"-lol! Dang BMW!!!!!!!!!! Still don't see the value but what the heck. I will remove those springs and install H&R the first day. Lowering 10mm is a joke. The H&R lowers a full inch (25 mm) and they look INSANE on the F12/F13 (see pic). They also give it a PERFECT center of gravity. Feels like you are driving a very much sportier car. Handles very well. -Mike |

no Michelin PSS for the NA market available in this size , so you'd have to pick Pirelli Pzeros or Yokohamas etc . There is a Michelin PSS in 305/30/20 for sale in Canada (getting a set shipped as we speak) . 275's in front might be a tight fit if you're running spacers as they likely will extend quite a bit and cause plenty of rock / stone damage to your rocker panels
