And for full-fledged M-cars, diesel is not yet there. Sure for M Performance models it could work (M550d, X5 M50d, etc.) but for full-M cars, not so much...

What do you think this 7er will be but an M Performance model.
For high performance there is the Alpina B7 which will come later next year.
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. |
It's logical to offer the tri turbo diesel in the 7 if it's available in the 5. About the only exciting thing to look forward to for a while if all those other models are cancelled.
