Now.. BMW is making an entire model named the Competition model.


Consider the following.

Porsche Cayman
Porsche Cayman S
Porsche Cayman GTS
Porsche Cayman GT4

that is a 4 car model hierarchy on the Cayman platform.

BMW is now doing the same with all the M car lines.. for the next generation M3 for example.. it will be

M3
M3 Competition (NOT a ZCP package)
M3 CS
M3 CSL


The first line to have this expanded lineup of models (on sale at the same time) is the M5.

An M5 has been announced...
