Remember there is the S65 AMG as well. I don't see M Division trying to outmuscle AMG, the higher ups at BMW AG probably wouldn't allow it. But, if they make the theoretical M7 lighter using more carbon fiber, and market it as the first large luxury sedan with extensive use of carbon fiber, they may be able take a good chunk of sales from AMG.
After all, who wouldn't want the cache of having the first M7, which is lighter the competition, which means, more agile, more responsive, and gets better gas mileage?
