BMW M3 F80 CP Exhaust Sound

BMW have improved the M3 F80 with the competition packet. Do you think the exhaust sound has improved?



You can fast forward to 1:15 if you want.

I have zip and it sounds better to me. The microphone makes the sound more metallic than it is...

I have a non-ZCP M4 going off lease in July. I just listened to a ZCP M4 today. There is a very big difference in the exhaust sound. Go listen for yourself IN PERSON. The ZCP exhaust sounds great and much, much better in my opinion. It sounds like a good after market exhaust. I'll definitely go ZCP when I renew the lease. The wheels look nice in person. Very unique. The black 666 version for the 2018 models should be awesome.

If I didn't have Downpipes and full AA exhaust for my car I'd definitely want the ZCP Exhaust

My car is driven daily. That can be in shitty persistent upside down / sideways rain in the UK to non stop snow in Austria. And then everything else.

The ZCP car sounds much better than the non ZCP cars.

I test drove a ZCP car and although it sounded good but not much different from my 16 non ZCP, my 16 also sounds pretty good. Also test drove a ZCP with MPE and that sounded awesome and much better than mine which I clasify as much better

I get tons of compliments from friends who are "car people" on the sound of the exhaust and have even been asked if it is aftermarket...I love the ZCP wheels but the exhaust may have become my favorite part of the comp package.
