How much better will the M6GC CP be
To drive than the LCI M5 I am part exchanging for one?.
My M6 GC CP has been put back till October delivery because the factory is closing for summer holidays for 4 weeks I did briefly drive the M6 GC months ago and can't remember how it would compare, anyone?.

tighter steering, 20% stiffer suspension on sport plus. I really felt the difference when I drove them back to back.
15 more HP. Supposedly brings it sub 4 in a good launch control. Suspension 1 inch lower and makes it look slick! I have it and I love it. I wish i had twister roads here in south Fl |

I didn't get that! are you comparing M6 GC CP with LCI M5 or CP with non CP ??
Also as far as CP it's 10mm ( not 1 inch) lower than non CP as far as I know...

The following is my own summary: 10mm lower suspension (M5), stiffer front bushings, revised springs/shocks and stiffer sway bars." Anyone else wants to solve the mystery? |

From BMW official website,

I did a PhotoShop comparison of Palnuts two M6's, one CP and one non CP, the ride height was identical.
Non CP CP Merge |

It's weird that when I browse related web pages, some media say the lowered 10mm suspension only applies to M5 and M6s are not affected, while some say it does to both. |

I repeat, in the German M6 price list it states that the car is 10mm lower. Mind you 10mm is not a lot and the + or - tolerance probably covers this. On the other hand UK and US versions of the Comp Pack may differ to the German one. Anyone care to look up their price list? I don't have a UK or US one. Cheers Brian
