The one thing you can be pretty darn sure of is that if a product doesn't exist, it probably would not generate profit. At the very least, you can be sure that lots of smart people crunching through lots of data determined that the risk of such a product being unprofitable made it a poor case for further pursuit and investment.

Companies make mistakes at a higher degree than one might think. Porsche not offering a manual on 991.1 GT3’s is a recent example. It had underestimated the passions of it’s customer base, it is possibly, an all-time miss! Hopefully, that along with take rates on the M2 and F80 being so high for 6MT cars, that mistake is not made by BMW.
