AGREE, I had the LCI M5 none CP, bought the M6 GC CP, miles better IMO.

Nice one, have you ordered / decided yet?

I prefer the 601's myself... know a lot of people don't.

Too Heavy Matt, 343M for me.

Fair enough

The weight difference doesn't really bother me though.

I went for the same colour combo as yours. Alpine with Sakhir, and Comp Pack of course love it.

Frozen Orange

i thought the 601s were mean to be light weight?

So placed a new factory order. Decided to go with comp pack!

Now i have a few days to decide if i want Sakhir Orange or Silverstone Interior. Thoughts? The car will be Singapore Grey.

Appreciate all the advice guys.

343s are forged 601s are not, hence the previous comments about weight & avoiding potholes.

343s are £290 upgrade with CP in UK...

Looking at Shakir orange interior.

Every review I read from journalist suggest that the comp pack is wasted unless you plan to track the car on a regular basis?

Full merino all day twice on sunday. You can always get a BMS tune

Weird that the comp pack includes heavier wheels! Which brightspark at BMW had that idea!

I think his name is Bob. Bob at BMW, it was his idea

I bought the CP but went 343M Wheels for strength (forged) as the other wheels are Cast, I think the 601's
are 5 pounds a corner heavier too.

competition pack. no question. The extended leather is nice but the M5 interior is nice enough without it mate.

[Neil McRae]

with that colour sakhir for sure mate.

just bear in mind that you get a lot of transfer visible on both the colours, I got fed up with silverstone as I was clearing it every 2 weeks.

don't forget to order your IND McRae splitters!
