I never drove a ZCP e9x M, but drove several non-ZCP, both with 18's and 19's... As long as you have the adaptive suspension, I thought they were fine. IIRC, it doesn't add power either. I personally wouldn't look for it but I'm not an expert in the v8 m3. Two things about what you posted.
- Coupe but not CF roof
- Price point a bit low at a 3rd party dealer. Not just Carfax but I'd have paint checked, may be sitting on a story.

On the f8x M, all the reviewers seem to point *needing* the ZCP as handling/grip seems insufficient/not well-sorted enough without. The 20's are too much for me. They do have MV Augusta inspired/copied design though.
