Guys, it’s got the carbon goodies where it counts: hood (to reduce mass at the front and improve the weight distribution) and roof (to reduce the CG).
A CF front lip which is likely to get damaged or scratched to hell is asinine IMO. Porsche does it in matte black plastic on the GT3, BMW should pay attention.
A CF trunk might actually make the weight distribution worse (albeit reducing overall mass), and the carbon fenders can’t save that much weight. Maybe they’re a 50% fancy, 50% functional item.
The ZCP seats are better than the regular ones, I’ve had both. The stitching doesn’t hurt performance. Adaptive suspension is important for folks living in areas with neglected/bad roads, it makes the car more usable more of the time. I use Comfort a lot in daily driving, especially with the GC camber plates I need some extra compliance on the DC potholed roads.
Should be a good car. Worth the money? Of course if you can afford it

Actually the thing I’d miss the most compared to my M3 would be the HUD, I’ve fallen in love with it. But I wouldn’t keep a car just because of that, and the days of me needing 4 doors are coming to an end soon. Sign me up.
