Wonder how much weight is reduced over all.
Some more color options would be nice.
Also need a black wheel option, lighter wheels are always welcomed.

I don't think there will be any weight reduction as per the info released. Previous comp packs didn't have any weight reduction. Handling should be sharper and there will probably be a perceptible firmer ride quality, though not likely bad, as previous comp packs easily performed DD duties for most. From another thread, there are no other color options other than the frozen dark silver on the press release.

The only weight reduction would be via the wheels as they are forged, the other two options are cast. So perhaps 1.5-2kg per wheel?

I see, it's a luxury saloon... not a m2.

Market wants luxury features and 3.3 to 100km/h

How stiff do we expect the comp pkg to be in comfort mode compared to regular f90?

Specs say stiffer in sports/sports+.

Wondering if it will still be a good daily driver

Wants are lower suspension, better handling in corners and sports exhaust, if I can get that with true comfort mode then it would be perfect
