Yes if we take the 3er GT it sells exceptionally well in Europe and Asia exceeding its 10% of total 3er units. Again 3er GT is a low volume niche model but very profitable because of its ability to be developed from the existing matrix.
The 4er Gran Coupe is also another example of this philosophy.
Both are very profitable and boost overall 3er/4er combined sales.

The X4 like the X6 is also a niche model that is low volume and is proving to be a force on the market especially in markets where customers cannot financially meet the cost of an X6. As a low volume model X6 E71 sold over 260,000 units in its lifecycle.
GC and SAC are okays, 6 Series GC and X6 are great cars, so I got the point of making 4 Series GC and X4 and maybe X2...

But 5 Series GT is the thing I didn't like at all, even in Europe and Asia (which I lived before) why not buying the actual 5 Series Touring?

It looks better and provide the same practical features!
