Correct. End of Story.

Carlos hits the nail on the head with the 'greater than the sum of it's parts' perspective. CP seems overpriced, however, I wouldn't want an F10 M5 without it.

I do not agree that there is no noticeable difference in ride quality; the primary is improved by the car being firmer with a slight degradation in secondary. Overall still comfortable though, somewhat inherent from the long wheelbase.

Surely SO isn't that red in real life?

ARE YOU SURE?

That's louder than the CP, but it's louder all of the time, CP goes from quiet to pretty load under load - quite how M have managed to do that just but removing the baffles, is, well, baffling

The MotorTrend video does not do the CP exhaust justice; only really sounds synthesized under gentle loads.

Love the totally unimpressed look form the guy on the crossing at 0.53 secs

She needs to lose some weight, poor fat girl.

BMW can do so much better. They are just too busy counting their money....

CP should be standard!

Agree, but if I were BMW why when you can sell it. Econ 101 bro the world is built on dollars never forget. Next year will be CP II.

dimabimmer · 10-14-2013, 08:14 PM

ahhhhh no …. he's looking for this … the GTS … no fake stereo engine sound required with this car nor the E9X M3!

Id prefer paying more for the car and having it come stock with as much potential as possible. In my oppinion, the m performance parts lines are stupid. I understand they wanna sell, but people buying these cars would rather be getting the total package from factory. What they need to do, is further separate their sub brands ie. M sport and ///M...lets see a bigger gap!

That's a lot car to handle

idk

doug_999 · 10-14-2013, 11:00 PM

So a $93K car and you need to spend another $7,300 to make it handle the way it should. That's just wrong.

Savory · 10-14-2013, 11:13 PM

^^ Not everyone yearns for the improvements of the CP. Stock F10 seems to be ample, but some people just want an edge. Same with the brakes, why not make the CCB standard? CCBs shine at the track, but not everyone tracks their F10. It really depends on what you expect from the car.
