You certainly made a valid point. The Competition package isn’t worth the premium for those who intend on modifying their cars.

Comp Pack is a must for me. Those M666 Wheels are the best BMW Wheels of all time 😍

Absolutely. BMW make the best designed wheels. No contest there

I test drove both (comp/base) before buying .. I chose the base because it was a smoother ride, (comfort setting) comp has stiffer suspension and 20 inch wheel which made for a rough ride,, I don’t track or plan too, just wanted a cool daily driver ..These stock M3s and M4s are pretty fast out the box

what about M2 Comp vs M4 Comp? if both were the same price

@usernamealreadytaken770 3 жыл бұрын

I think M4 Comp is better if daily because it has adaptive dampers, more luxury options, more leg room. Or better yet, F80 M3 Comp instead of M2 Comp if getting for daily. But if making a track car, M2 Comp is better for shorter wheelbase, better brakes, and no EDC dampers so easier to change out to coilovers.

I’d never even consider the m4 without the comp pack, and I’m planning on modding it a lot. Without the comp you’re just spinning wheels, the comp m4 actually puts the power down and sounds better.

@SolarMotorsport 3 жыл бұрын

Not true, if you have an LCI model (2017 & Up) the traction control, EDC, and steering were all updated to the same software whether its a base or comp model. Comp does have some slight hardware changes to suspension which actually make it handle a little better on the track

@LegendInThaMakin 3 жыл бұрын

@@SolarMotorsport can you replicate those suspension changes bmw implemented on the comp models to the base ones?

@SolarMotorsport 3 жыл бұрын

@@LegendInThaMakin I can't see why not but it would probably make more sense to just buy a set of quality coil-overs at that point and make it better than a comp suspension for tracking but If we're talking 2017 & Up the biggest advantages of the Comp package out the box are the black trimmings and the ZCP exhaust

@LegendInThaMakin 3 жыл бұрын

@@SolarMotorsport but then wouldn’t have even better handling if you put coilvers on a comp pack m4? The modding reasoning doesn’t make any sense to me. They say if you wanna mod just start with the base m4. Wouldn’t it be even better to mod a comp m4 because everything starts off better with a comp m4 anyway?

@SolarMotorsport 3 жыл бұрын

@@LegendInThaMakin comp has stiffer sway bars and shorter spring rate, coilovers would have shorter spring rate and the base F8x sway bars are more than enough as the car is very balanced out the box but yes the comp sway bar would be the main advantage over the base if you were to get just coil-overs. Basically modifying a base M4 with just a simple tune and coilovers would make it far better than a stock comp f8x but doing the same mods to a comp will still make it slightly better than a base model so you are definitely correct in that aspect
