Looking at the rest of the lineup bmw has been moving away from competition being a separate model, most (all?) M models for 2021 comp is now an optional package |

BMW are simply following a very lucrative page in the Porsche playbook.

Of course, you can easily change wheels out after you buy the car, and since many people look to third party vendors for wheels, even for Competition models, there will likely be plenty of as-new sets available on the forum. |

not to get too far off topic but agree 100% on the marketing..... I thought the move to separate models for volume packages didn't make sense (if there is no production restriction it's volume). I get the concept of establishing a stepped line logic from the 320/330; m340; m; comp; m cs; etc but they took it too far, it was way too much processing for consumers.

Interestingly, since LCI, the base M5 is no longer offered in Canada.

I never wrote "outside of North America" in my post... The first link to the BMW press release was a UK release which I didn't realize until some time after I first posted it. Went back to BMW press and found the global version of the press release (notice it says "global" in the link, the previous one said "united_kingdom" instead of global) and replaced the link with that. Global means the world IMO, not "outside North America"... And every M, except the M4, also still has base and Competition models on bmwusa.com... So the global BMW press release states two models incl Competition, the bmwusa website has base and Competition models. Perhaps North America isn't considered part of the world since a «Global» press release from BMW doesn't apply there, but is considered «outside of North America» by the moderators...??? Moderators editing my post apparently... |

Base M5 was only offered as a launch edition in Australia. Since then it's Comp model only.
We don't get the X3/4M base either. I'm thinking we probably won't get the G80 base except as some special pure edition also. |

The 4 variants that are expected to exist (based on spy shots and actual bmw confirmation) Base - 6MT (confirmed by BMW) Base - auto (not mentioned explicitly but test mules matching the configuration are out and about) Comp package - auto (confirmed by BMW) Comp package - MxDrive/auto (kinda sorta confirmed by articles written in the pre-prod drives that xdrive will be comp only) I expect (and my hunch is BMW agrees) that the lions share of sales will come from the comp-auto and comp-xdrive |

Either of the left 2 for me. Probably the nice single colour grey ones at the top.
Really not liking the top right.

Am I guessing right that the top left is the 18”-19” combo while the three others are 19”-20” ?

Though the bottom left wheels are the ones on two of the cars in the pictures from the OP, and they sure look small - like 18"/19" as I had mentioned earlier. Could be the shipping blocks giving that effect though. I wonder if RWD vehicles will have wheel options that are distinct from those available on cars equipped AWD. If so, there could be more than one style of 18"/19" sized wheels. Going back to our earlier discussion, I suspect that the wheels that look similar (but much better IMHO, due to the fact that they have some concavity and also because they remain open at the point they intersect the outside of the wheel) to the F8x 666M will be available from the factory for the Competition model only. Perhaps the other 19/20 combo in the top right will be the upgrade wheel on the base model, and also available on the Competition model as well. |
