US product strategy:

1/2 family of products - B48 only (coupe excepted)
3/4 family of products - B48/B58/S58
5/6 family of products - B48/B58/N63/S63 (no B48 in SAVs)
7/8 family of products - B58/N63/S63 (N74 dies with the G12)

And before someone asks if there will be an M7 next generation - I have no idea. But they really should, right?
An M7 would be cool, although the grill would ruin it, but what engine would they use? The V12 is already in the M760i, and a V8 isn't as cool as a V12, plus they got the Alpina B8 which is the closest they'll ever get to an M7. Maybe they should try and make a V16 again, so the M gets the range topping engine




They should also include the double rear intakes for the radiator as well, I'd love to see how people would react to that!
