Serious diminishing returns at double the MSRP, and in the end the fanboys drool over the rear OLEDs. I think the GTS was a step in the right direction, don’t get me wrong. The intent was good, the execution left a lot to be desired.

" quite a bit of that" .. lol.. no.. Porsche is the KING at that..
Just um.. 24 models. Seriously.. No self respecting enthusiast should complain that BMW has " too many models and special editions" without first looking over at Zuffenhausen where Porsche makes TWO DOZEN variations of the same car. Here are all 24 versions of the Porsche 911 you can buy right now

It's so many that even car mags have made a buyers guide..

Meanwhile.. Back to BMWs. A correction..
The M4 GTS was the FIRST thing BMW could do to squeeze more performance from the M4 chassis.
They then made a ZCP.. model... which incorporated some GTS items (wheels ) (let's not count LCI )
The M4 CS with it's redesigned front and rear aero is essentially the third salvo from the boys at M.. And I have a feeling that they aren't done.
Keep in mind that EOP isn't until 2020.... and BMW began to seriously pump out special editions for the E92 around the time that the E90 sedan ended production.
