The reason why a B6 Gran Coupe is here is to provide sales sustainability until the next 7er especially in the US. As when the B7 ends production Alpina will not have anything to offer US customers.

From a marketing standpoint, wouldn't an M7 make sense for the very important US, Chinese, and Middle Eastern markets where these cars would sell like hotcakes? I understand the M performance 7er with a diesel making complete sense for Europe.

Since the new G20 makes extensive use of CFRP, this could be further implemented by the ///M boys making an awesome and light super limousine.
