L'offre ZCP est-elle uniquement en transmission automatique ? J'adore conduire des voitures de sport avec transmission manuelle, mais je n'ai jamais essayé la DCT Double Clutch Transmision... Est-ce plus amusant à conduire ?

Is the ZCP offer only in automatic transmission? I really love to drive sports cars with Manual Transmission, but I never try the DCT Double Clutch Transmision... wich one is more fun to drive?

This is Pandora's box. Both great both different. Drive them both and decide for yourself. Only way to answer this question.

Thank you. It will try to drive the ZCP model to see if I like it.

For somebody who love to have three pedals feet like me.. will probably chose the 6MT? And I think the ZCP have a sport differential and twin clutch that the 6MT don't have?

I read that M-DCT have somes lag issue? Do you know what year M3 has solved this problem?

There is updated software that fixes it. I have a 2011 DCT and it doesn't seem to have any lag in the aggressive modes.

ZCP (Competition package) is available in 6MT and DCT. The differential is exactly the same in ZCP and non-ZCP models.

The ZCP does come with slightly different suspension settings and it has the competition package wheels.

1. Get ZCP. Better wheels and suspension than a non-ZCP car.
2. All E9X M3's have the same diff.
3. M-DCT transmission is awesome. Light years better than Audi trannys.

Thank you guys, the ZCP have only better wheels and suspension?

If I want to put coilovers (to have the drop and look I want) and nice wheels... should I buy a ZCP M3 or non-ZCP?

Here is what you get with ZCP:

The suspension has been lowered by 10mm. The spring rates are the same, but the springs themselves are shorter, to compensate for the shorter stance. The suspension’s shock damping was also adjusted by the M division. This was in order to compensate for the lower ride height, primarily for rebounding damping rates as opposed to actual compression.
- The Electronic Damper Control in the “Sport Mode” has been modified. A quote taken from the Manager of BMWNA’s M Division, Larry Koch: “The Sport Mode before ZCP was locked at 75% of the way to full stiff. It still has that as a default, but is now variable like the ‘Comfort’ and ‘Normal’ modes.” This translates to a stiffer ride whilst sport mode is engaged, aiding heavy cornering on a track at a cost to ride comfort when driving normally on the road.
- Modifications have been made to the computer governing the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) in M Dynamic Mode. It is reworked and renamed to “Dynamic Traction Control” (DTC) which allows for larger angles of slip in heavy cornering. This translates to the rear end sliding out further than would be allowed on a non-ZCP M3 before the DTC kicks in to stop the tail slide. Also, once the DTC does kick in, instead of cutting power to the wheels in order to correct the slide (which is normal for the DSC on stock M3s), the DTC computer instead applies the brakes to individual wheels in order to keep the car from spinning excessively.
- In addition, forged 19 inch wheels in the same style as those on the E46 CSL are added to the car.

ZCP Wheels and ride height looks like this:


Competition Package: Not your normal M3!!!
Sport suspension; 10mm lowered M suspension; Front alloy wheels: 19" x 9.0", rear alloy wheels: 19" x 10.0"; Y-spoke wheels (style 359M); Front 245/35- and summer tires, rear 265/35- and summer tires; Sport mapping for EDC/DSC; Driver modes includes engine mapping, suspension and stability control; Includes: [223] Electronic Damping Control

Can we adjuste the suspension like we want with OEM ZCP suspension?

Like this ZCP e92:

if you're interested, mine is an '08 Alpine White E92 M3 with manual 6 speed. Black leather interior.... no other options.... and..... only 13k miles. Bought it brand new in April of 2008 and was probably one of the 1st E92 M3s in So. Cal. My car is so mint that it feels/looks/smells brand new still..... PM me if interested.....

Like this ZCP e92:

The suspension on a ZCP is not manually adjustable it is set about 1/2 inch lower than the normal M3.
This aint no civic...lol

Thanks M3-S65.

And should I buy the 1st generation M3 E9X 2008, or not? Or should I buy 2009 + ?

No offense, but every question you have asked is easily found via a search..

Do some more leg work before getting into the car. Do YOUR OWN homework. All the questions her have been very basic, I'm surprised you haven't gotten yet.
