M packages for e9x this march, no suspension upgrade?

[cemimms]

I have really been wanting some sort of ZHP type deal for the e92 for a while now because I wasn't happy with the feel of the suspension of the 335 coupe compared to the 135 which had way more of an M feel to it.

So now we are going to get this M package deal (ZMP) starting in march for all three series makes, but there is no mention of a stiffer/sportier suspension. Does anyone else think this is complete garbage? Why are you going to pop M labels all over the cars if they don't handle more like M cars. Not impressed with whoever is in charge of this decision, unless that is I am missing something and the M pack. will come with a better suspension.

Thats my gripe for the day, your thoughts....oh and that said i do think it will look very nice however

Would not be the 1st time BMW slapped the M badge on a package/car for mere cosmetics + some aero parts.

It reeks of the wannabe pkg. Hold out for the ZHP pkg if it returns, that's the one you want.

Yes it did, my previous car had the m badges but only due to aero/cosmetics, and yeah it was a US car, I bought it when I was living in Boston.

YES...that is exactly what I want, good thing I can't afford a new car right now so I won't be rushing out to by a 335 ZMP

It is hopes of selling more cars I think off the looks. An "M" cars does look better but alas many people don't want all the M stuff with it.
