Yes, they underrate their HP figure but they do it across the board for the most part. If M5 Comp is underrated so is the base model. In other words, the real life delta in HP between the base and the competition is probably going to be inline with what they claim on paper.

• B&W Hifi standard

• Suspension is lower -7 / 10mm front and rear
• Usual black grills badges side vents etc
• 460kw (616hp) torque not confirmed
• Competition Package specific exhaust tuning same as latest M3 comp pack, cracks burbles on the over run.
• Sports exhaust standard on top of tuning

To all the USA buddies freaking out, don't worry given our taxes and crazy price gouging your price is probably $2000. Lol ok not that low but you know what I am getting at.

Australian pricing talk below:

Thanks for the pricing and details. I think i've read the B&W option is a $6500 stand alone option. So it's a $13500 extra for the rest.

The F80 Comp pack gets you something similar (Less the carbon fibre engine cover) for $5000. So you are really paying an extra $8500 (More than the F80) for some really nice wheels (Keeping in mind
we haven't seen them yet) and a carbon fibre engine cover.

Any ways having said all that. When you are paying $220,000 for an M5 what's another 10% to get the car you want.

Makes the F80 cp @ $5k a no brainer. Do oz m5 come with 19s stock? If so then the 20k is getting there (with the hifi) but not quite value for me.

Or just get a JB4..... god forbid. 1000.00 and you can gain at minimum of 50hp

Ahh 220k AUD makes a lot more sense. I knew he M5 was expensive with options but I had a really hard time seeing how it was 220k USD haha

Just did the conversion and that's still 170k USD which isn't cheap at all Base 911 Turbo is 160k USD so that's a definite contender. Although not a sedan still same power bracket and a lot of car for the money as well. Certainly as quick as well

Well mine cost 300k USD here in Taiwan sadly. If I were to live in USA the same money I'll be driving a Ferrari.

Oh I can believe it. The taxes and fees over there and in some other cities is brutal :/

Which is why some of my friends said it's smarter to buy expensive watches instead of cars in Taiwan. A 100k Patek Philippe in the US will be similarly priced in Taiwan. But cars is double the price.

But you can't exactly drive a Patek Philippe....

Thanks for the information, enjoy your M5 comp. amd those debating if its worth the 20K or not - who cares. Obviously the OP doesn't and congratulations on the fantastic car.

Yeah wait till the US announce the pricing, I am certain it won't be 20k. Like I said before, CP for my F10 was 20k, B&O was 8k, but the US has entirely different pricing.

I would prefer to not pay for it period....never found upgraded stereo systems any good in any car, don't care what anyone says otherwise.

With regarding to audio, yes, finally found someone agree with me. All these upgraded audio sonically still very bad. But I admit I still got them for the looks, same for CCBs.

[Hashtag_M_Rated]

Do you know if it will be the same Exhaust from the First edition M5 or something different?

Yes I ordered a competition package F90 M5 last month, yes the build date was confirmed by Munich over the phone. Yes I have a delivery estimate. Read on.

I've purchased quite a few M cars in the last couple years from a BMW owned factory dealership, which means that it's not a dealership owned by a sub company like Trivett here in Australia, BMW group themselves own and run the dealership. They have direct contact with the guys in Munich and after shopping around a few dealers before making a order they were the only ones to have any information on the comp pack.

Now let's get started; Australia will only see the comp pack for orders now on. The first and launch edition is sold / already allocated.

The price of the comp pack in Australia is $20k. Including the following;

• B&W Hifi standard
• Carbon fibre engine cover standard (two parts over the engine and charge air coolers at the front of the engine)
• Suspension is lower -7 / 10mm front and rear
• Usual black grills badges side vents etc
• 460kw (616hp) torque not confirmed
• Competition Package specific exhaust tuning same as latest M3 comp pack, cracks burbles on the over run.
• Sports exhaust standard on top of tuning

The full information is going to dealers in the April bulletin. With only some of the information was given to me as it was directly effecting my order. E.g I was about to pay for the B&O twice.

My build will be in July this year delivery the last week of September. Australia has 20 cars allocated.

I have the order form, Australian options list with pricing if anyone wants to PM me. (Comp pack isn't on the options list yet, before anyone asks)

Can't wait to see my Frozen Dark Silver w Tartufo Leather, the long wait is now on

Agreed. The HK sounds fine to me in my F90, and I am willing to bet that the Bowers sounds no where near 3k better. Its a car. I dont care if you pump 30k into a car stereo..it will never sound good. I may be biased, being a serious audiophile at home...but just my opinion.

Congratulations on the new car!

I was over the moon that the option was included reducing my build by $6.5k

More then likely US Comp Pack will be a very different spec to Australia, making it a option less the 10k US

[ImGoingPlaces]

im sorry but this ZCP just not seem worth it to me, idc if its 8k USD, in the F80 you got a completely revised suspension, all sorts of handling upgrades, more power,

what is this nonsense?
15 measly hp
an engine cover i dont care about
and a sport exhaust?

tf out of here

The suspension is revised, same as the motogp car, details yet to be released.
The car will have power/toque upgrades
Everything you got in a f80 comp pack and more?
