I'm saying someone who is looking at a 190K car probably wouldn't want something so similar to a 120K variant. It would make more sense if M8 topped at 150K given such little difference.

Exactly. If they are going to charge 60K odd dollars more they might as well have thrown in proper race inspired transmission.

Competition isn't a package you add on to the car, it's a trim, and it adds exactly $13k to the cost of any non-Comp M8.

A bit off topic, but I remember the difference between CP vs. non CP being $3K in M3/M4 models. I can't imagine BMW has done significantly more with Competition trim to upcharge $13K. I presume all of these add up to a much more expensive car than it should be.
