Is this more in reference to the next generation of vehicles replacing the G80/G82/G87 starting in 2027 or is this an imminent departure of the base (manual) M models such as the G80 M3 as of the 2025 model year (July 2024 start of production)?

I would appreciate your input!
It's marketing. There is always the base model, by definition. But now it could be called "Competition". Whatever.
