M just could not survive with the M3 and M5 which was the case ten years ago. M is now globally recognised and global demand and no longer specifics determine the product strategy.

An M7 would be counterproductive as the BMW M5 and forthcoming BMW M6 Gran Coupe will do the job perfectly.
I question the existence of the Grand Coupes in general. What is its purpose when you have a 5-series, 6-series coupe and a 7-series? M7 doesn't make sense but a X4, X4 M, X6 and X6 M does?

I didn't say BMW needs to have only M3s and M5s. I accept 1M, Z4M (if they had one), M7 (if they had one), M6. But I do not accept the idea of X1 M, X3 M, X5 M, X6 M (don't accept the whole X6), 6er Grand Coupe.

Not every model in the line up needs to have an M.
