The post LCi cars are newer & therefore will command a higher price. The thing is though with this pre/post LCI is that you still have a pre LCi car regardless of chucking £1k into it for a new steering wheel & a few hundred quid for new plastic trim. Probably saved myself £10k and no one would tell the difference. What's the difference in price between LCI and pre-LCI? Mine is pre-LCI but have the new steering wheel and front grills.

I had initially wanted to change them out before seeing them in person and once I had viewed them fell in love. I agree with the comments RE wheels however picture do not do them justice. It really is a night and day difference, Having drove a KW equipped Tuned car it really doesn't compare to the CP in terms of agility. M Dynamic mode tuned with higher threshold levels of intervention New hydraulic rack and pinion steering with the M specific servotronic function with more direct programming to improve agility during cornering The M5 I drive without traction on and its so controllable for such a big heavy car.Īccording to a BMW press release the differences between a CP car and standard are Īctive M Differential with a unique tune for the CP for improved traction Plus i really dont like the CP wheels 991 is way too easy to drive fast and lacks any sort of excitement. Not drove a comp pack car, but really its only the steering rack that seems to be the change that might be difficult to replicate with aftermarket mods. But i guess the 991 laps up the power making it a relatively easy car to drive fast?!.Īt least the M5 you have to wrestle it a little. It then underwent a few subtle changes - inc black OEM grilles and side intakes, black sapphire respray to the wheels, ac Schitzer springs, DMS remap and Evolve downpipes. Mine was bought stock as a black sapphire LCI car. To specifically answer your question, I would go LCI and standard spec, then play with the style and function myself.Agreed Sorted the sound out with new down pipes and an Box to control the exhaust valves and have KW adjustable spring seats going on in a week to have infinitely adjustable ride height! Saved my money on the 'standard' 20 inch alloys and put that towards some gorgeous forged alloys, saving a good chunk of unsprung weight each corner, whilst adding 10mm extra offset per corner. On the second M5 I ordered, I toyed with CP, but got more than you do with CP 'doing it myself'! It doesn't take much to make the car look quite a bit more individual, but very stock too. Whilst the current M5 is not as visceral, it's an awesome car. I've been running a new M5, actually two, for the last16 months.
