Are you saying the OE (factory fit) tyre is different from any available retail, therefore you can never buy the same tyre again?? What possible benefit would that give either BMW or the tyre manufacturer?
Re terminology, an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) is the tyre or part manufacturer, BMW isn't an OEM.
OE parts are those fitted by BMW at build.

There are different versions. The GM PSS for Corvettes is rumored to be significantly stickier. The Corvettes have been plagued with PSS cracking in low temperatures if parked outside. I have not heard this with any other OEM tires.
You can buy the OEM version, that's what the BMW * is for and Porsche N spec, etc.
I guarantee the M2 version isn't any different from the M3 version though.
