Ordering M3 tomorrow

M370z · 07-15-2011, 01:09 AM

Hey guys, decided that I'm going to place my order tomorrow for an e92 M3. Here are the two configuartions I'm trying to decide between:

ZCP
BT
Sat
iPod

-OR-

Premium
Sat
iPod

Both would come out to be right around the same price, with the ZCP option being slightly more expensive.

Thanks!

ZCP

dmw16 · 07-15-2011, 06:17 AM

I would have to say ZCP.

amglol · 07-15-2011, 06:49 AM

i've got them all, and i'd probably say ZCP if you have to choose.

Pointerman · 07-15-2011, 09:17 AM

Agree. Focus first on performance and then add luxury as money permits.

checkmate · 07-15-2011, 09:21 AM

The differences between the ZCP and the standard set up are very minute in terms of lap times so ultimately the ZCP option boils down to aesthetics and a remapped control module.

ZCP

You already have a premium sound system, with the V8. ZCP

chmura · 07-15-2011, 09:51 AM

I ordered mine with ZCP.

Nelrock · 07-15-2011, 11:35 AM

I use my iPod for everything and have everything on it I want. So I skipped Sat.
The premium sound option is a bit thin on bass, but sounds very very crisp and clean at all volume levels.
ZCP...I wanted the drop and the 359m wheels.

valeram · 07-15-2011, 11:40 AM

ZCP. You will prefer to listen to the sound of the engine than the stereo.

M370z · 07-15-2011, 11:55 AM

Sorry guys, I should have been more specific, when I'm talking about the Premium pkg, it's in reference to the leather, folding mirrors, etc, not the premium sound system.

No disrespect to the OP, but you either know what you want or you don't. This forum will only further confuse you.

When the time comes for me to get my next new car, I won't be posting threads on here asking about what to do, and it won't take me months to order the car. I will show up, place the order for a car with the options I want, and leave with a timeline for delivery. It can be that simple.

Check all the boxes!

Oh. Hmmm...
I'd get em both (and I did :-D). Couple K on a brand new M is a drop in the bucket at that point.

Haha, I'd love to. I think I'm gonna go with the ZCP option though.

xquisit · 07-15-2011, 09:53 PM

Nice, ZCP for the win.

FASTTOYS · 07-15-2011, 09:54 PM

ZCP & all others that you can afford

Thanks for the input so far guys, one alternative I thought of to the ZCP would be:

Premium 2
19's
Ipod
Sat

This option would only be $500 more than getting the ZCP plus options, since BT is included with Premium. Is this worth considering, or is the ZCP really worth sacrificing the extra amenties? If it is, that's fine, I'm just trying to get some opinions.
