No LEDs,

What do you get for your as-yet-undisclosed lump of change? BMW’s new-for-2016 Track Handling package, an M Performance limited-slip diff, the M Performance package, and a smattering of various other M parts. The engine gains 35 horsepower—pushing it to 335—while torque figures vary depending on transmission choice. Opt for the manual and you get the full-boat 332 lb-ft, while those who decline to shift for themselves make do with a less-lusty 317. Which is still 17 lb-ft better than stock. The power gains are due to software tweaks, a revised intake, and presumably, the M Performance engine cover. BMW claims gains of 0.2 second to 60 mph and 0.5 second for the 50-to-75 sprint. They’ve also programmed in extra exhaust burble. Speaking of gas extraction, the ZHP receives a lighter exhaust system with stainless tips, too.

Outside, the ZHP is treated to front and rear carbon-fiber spoilers, more aggressive-looking rocker panels, and an M Performance rear diffuser with an expanded-metal grille
So they added all the exterior M-Perfomance parts on top of the M-Sport, confirm? And added the MPPK along with the exterior parts.

Looks like 18" in the C&D article. I kinda like those.

I can't see the price on that attached image.

Basically, that's what they did.


And the price of this car is around $64,000

I think LED is a "must have" on new cars(if it's an option). HID looks ok few years ago, but now it's just as old as Halogen. LED is the trend now. maybe in a few years, laser light that on 7&i8 will be available on 3/4/5/6

I disagree too. I love the way they look. I miss the LEDs on my 435..

the msrp of my f80 m3 was $67,800... struggling to see the rationale for going with 435 with "m performance" add-ons, when you can get a "core M model" M4/M3 for similar money

It's easy for an enthusiast to think like this. Not everyone wants or needs the level of performance that the ///M gets them. In fact, nobody needs ///M performance, it's just nice to have sometimes.

Agreed, we all want different stuff out of our cars.

I'm getting some sticker shock since I expected a price gap between 435 ZHP and M3/M4

Or am I remembering wrong, and was there also no price gap between 330 ZHP and E46 M3?
