How much would this actually save? 5-10 lbs? Just take your shoes off while driving, same weight savings.

The M4/M3 CS doesn't even have CCB's standard nor a titanium exhaust. And people are expecting it to be on a Competition Pack. Laughable. These are expensive options. Just from the materials to create them. For ~10k usd you are basically wishing for these parts to be free.

But I guess you never know with BMW these days, after all, Jag did put a big rear wing on their 4 door sport saloon and claimed a ring record for a sedan. |

Bimmerpost land is a dream world that only exists online. Every person that has posted on this forum in the past month could quit buying BMWs and it wouldn't even register on the monthly sales report. However Mr Brand New M5 above accounts for a very large percentage of new bmw purchases because his wife leases a new X5 every 3 years (hope she doesn't get pissed off by the short life cycle of the current model all in the name of cost reduction), and he will also buy a used CPO 3 series or x3 (and purchase the maintenance plan) for each of his three kids so they can continue to live a shrivel of luxury when they go off to college. If they like their BMW experience they will do the same when they grow up. Bottom line your typical new BMW m5 owner is not on this forum! With regards to Porsche there are many flaws in that argument (not to mention allocation issues) the main being that if I purchase a GT3 I get a GT3 same as I did ten years ago. The same can not be said for buying a first model year M5. But there is no point in comparing a low production focused sports car to an "we will make as many as ordered" family sedan designed to cure Mr Money Bags midlife crisis during the work week. You're comparing an options package that cost sub 10% of the new purchase price to a limited production car that depending on time of purchase could easily cost 2x the GT3!

CCB at BMW Performance Center West
Here's some information from the chief mechanic at the BMW Performance Center West about their CCB maintenance on the M3/4,
They said they have to replace pads every 2,500 miles and rotors every 7,500. I've driven those cars and can tell you every single mile driven is multiple threshold braking. Hope this information helps.

How is "Mr. Money Bags" whom is not an enthusiast and mainly uses his M5 to commute to work being "royally screwed" by BMW for not being able to get the competition package? He will never make use of the marginal improvement in power and handling. If anything BMW did him a favor by guiding him towards a slightly more comfortable M5 that still out runs a GT-R on his way to work. Clearly you have an axe to grind and somehow I opened up a whole can of worms. Perhaps this thread is not the place to get into all that. You might want to find a good outlet for whatever that's bottled inside you though. Good luck. |

Anyone else note that in the post above the Newton meters torque figure appears to have been reduced from 800 to 750? Based on what we were told earlier in this thread? I e no increase in torque for the competition package?
