honestly i can see all the options on the table and bmw's product managers are probably just figuring out what features to keep, or allow and if it works in their product strategy / matrix.

like DCT, for example. Hypothetically though, lets say they didnt offer it with DCT, but offered it with carbon roof or maybe neither. no DCT would make it obviously positioned lower in the M range and differentiate the m3/m4. or say it doesnt have a carbon roof, or DCT, but its just much cheaper say 49,999 starting so they can call it under 50k

im guessing these smaller items are still on the table. like if it got an m suspension, a n55 tune, wider track, and some flared fenders and say an aluminum hood and front and rear quarterpanels (they have to make new quarter panels anyway since its wider so why not) and was under $50k starting, vs way more base with carbon roof etc. could be a better sell for bmw just to get people into the M range
