Except it's not. |
Yes it is. I've owned a 13 and then upgraded to a 14 with the cp after my younger brother got an LCI 14 non cp and I couldn't stand that he had the full LED lights lol. We raced and I pulled from him every time. Steering is much better, suspension is better, but the exhaust is still worthless and I just swapped my turner over to the new car from my old one. The MDM is also significantly better, probably the best part of the package. The mdm on the stock car is way too intrusive. Even when I got my Dinan tune the MDM was still able to keep it in balance. |
Well we also have forum member (M6beast) who has 600HP CP M6 and yet it is slower than 575HP CP and non CP when he raced them, and also dynoed less power.
And we have magazine results of 0-300km slower than non CP.
I don't doubt your experience, but at the same time we have people with opposite experiences, so I stick with what I said, there is no guarantee that a CP car is faster or even makes more power. |
It's a matter of logic and common sense. BMW will not sell a car with less power then advertised or they would be committing fraud. Additionally, none of these cars have been successfully dyno tested except for Dinan's engine dyno which clearly shows an increase in power over a stock car. I also had a BMS tune on my car which made it slower because it failed to regulate the needed air fuel mix ratio for the added boost. There are plenty of people on this forum, and I'm not referring to the individual that you mentioned, that have said they had the cp when they were in a 13 car and claimed they had it retrofitted which isn't possible. I've had 3 in my family and have several friends with other m5's m6's that are both stock and cp models and they all acknowledge that the CP is faster. Now if they were dumb enough to leave the traction fully on, then the traction control severely limits the acceleration due to the increased potential for braking traction. Bottom line is that the CP is faster, there's 0 evidence to suggest otherwise, especially since you're not talking from personal experience. And magazines? Don't make that argument, it's absurd. |
Zero evidence? So you are saying M6Beast's experience doesn't count for anything while yours does? And reputable magazines like AutoBild don't count either? SA also had a M5 CP quicker than M5 Jahre, so what's wrong with these magazines?
M6Beast on another thread said he raced and dyno tested vs non CP on the same day, same dyno. However accurate the dyno was, at least he was able to compare directly.
I don't know him and I don't know you, but you two have contrary experiences, on top of which magazines also showed inconsistent results, thus why I maintain that it's not for certain that CP car is faster, especially the 600HP versions, for some reason they seemed to be the slowest.
Too bad my M5 and M6 are on different continent or I would have loved to pit them against each other.
