It does make sense to have similar hardware but different chassis firmware to eek a bit more performance and "earn" the Competition badge. I am curious if G80 M3 Base with 6MT will be able to receive CSL chassis firmware. |

So it really is a mixed bag with all of the different variants - the G8x should be no different. But once all of this stuff is figured out on the G8x platform, it will be great for the G8x enthusiast community, just like it was for the F8x enthusiast community.

I will do some comparisons with bimmerutility when I have time. Can't do firmware comparisons but coding should tell us something. |

i'm just happy its now easier to search for a manual car. In the F80 you search M3 and check manual only but the idiot dealers think the DCT is a manual. You have to hunt and call the dealer to know if its a true manual or not. Now its easy, comp=auto base=manual. i like it

So actually I am more interested in pushing Competition firmware down to Base model hardware. Yes, I understand that the transmission is different, but I am wondering about the rest: abs threshold breaking, esp, throttle response, etc...
I guess I will have to wait til people really get into it... |
