From the article:

Using "Competition Package" as the name for the ZCP package may have been a little optimistic, but the ZCP package is definitely an improvement over the standard M3. The brakes are better, the steering is better and the wheels look terrific. The big question is, is the ZCP package worth the $4,000 over the standard car? Well, that depends. If you really want an M3, would like to do occasional track days with it, but don't want to bother with doing upgrades after buying it, the ZCP option certainly deserves a close look. While the M3 will never be associated with the word "value," BMW gives you a lot for your money with the ZCP package, with the brake hardware, the wheels and the quicker steering. If you want value, go place an order for a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.

The one thing I would love to have from the ZCP is the revised DSC.

The steering and brakes would be a close 2nd though. [thumb]

I got it soley on looks. I really liked the rims and the after market ones with tires would have cost me about $3,200. If it happens to handle / brake better it's a bonus! We'll see in about a month

Price out the rims from BMW (I know you can get after market) alone. You will see just the rims themselves are priced that much as a set. So if you take what you get for the money I think it is well worth it. I wished I had it....

I am just going to get put Bilstein PSS-9's on and go from there. I really love those CLS wheels though. I want a set badly....
