Why isn't bmw doing the same thing and maximizing profits by offering multiple levels of the same car?

The only reason that there isn't an M2 base, M2
Comp, M2 CS, M2 CSL hierarchy already that also includes an M2 SEDAN and an M2 convertible is because BMW AG was skeered.

Skeered of what would happen to their sacred cow 3/4 series .... and that's how they lost the luxury car sales crown to Mercedes.
