Don't forget about its origin as optional pack, a box that could be ticked when ordering some M cars ('ZCP Competition Package', '7MN M Competition Package' or '7MA Competition Package').
Most called it simply ZCP. "Z" in "ZCP" had no real meaning, just a character for BMW to sort configuration codes. But it was a recurrent joke that it stood for - activate heavy German accent now - "Zee Competition Pack(age)".
A distinguished "Competition" model (instead of an existing model featuring the optional ZCP) was introduced only a couple of years ago: the F87 M2 Competition released in 2018.
