Yup, I think that 1%ers left are exactly the demographic BMW targets the Competition Sport to. In Porsche world, 3 decades ago there was the 930 Turbo and all the other 911's. Porsche figured out over the years to offer once exclusive Turbo options on other 911's. Now we have Carrare S, GTS and Carrera 4S with all turbo options and looks except for the actual turbo. (992 all have turbos). Its the same performance migration BMW is doing across the line.
Porsche really does the nitty gritty of having it your way better than anyone else. Of course this comes at a steep price which is worth it for some. I love the new X5 and wanted a balance of performance and not having back problems everyday from the ride so that's why I got the 50i + DHP over waiting on the X5M
