As trim levels go, one named Competition Package" is bound to get your attention. Especially when it"s attached to a BMW M3 or M4.Given the new M2 is imminent, it seems fair that these mid-size Ms get a little love too.If you have the sort of sensitive middle ear that can detect the extra acceleration provided by four percent extra power, this one"s for you. A rise of 19bhp to 450bhp helps shave off 0.1sec from the 0-62 time. For the M3/M4 hardtop with DCT, that means 4.0sec. For the Convertible, it"s 4.3.If you can"t feel the extra power, you ought to be able to hear it. The Comp Pack gets a new exhaust, the burble of which, we"re told, brings added emotional resonance" to the driving.
