Right, I'm aware.
It still doesn't cover the lack of a V8 model nor the lack of any AMG model, V6 or V8, today. The sedan gets both, the estate gets the latter (and the former on the other side of the pond). The two-doors get nada.

Because an AMG version of the E Class coupe/convertible would be a competitor to the M6 coupe and convertible.

That's my point. With 2, 4, 6, 8, there are just too many coupes with too small a market. BMW may decide they don't need the 6 coupe and convertible with the 8's coming. Mercedes doesn't need an answer to a product they don't think their competitor will actually release.
