Oh no. It's way more complicated than that. If you take the sum total of SCOTT's past remarks, rumors/reports from other industry sources, and add in this new 5 coupe/cabrio information, you have:
1 series 3 door
1 series 5 door
1 series coupe
1 series cabrio
1 series Gran Coupe
1 series sedan?
1 series GT
1 series MPV
3 series sedan
3 series sedan LWB
3 series wagon
3 series coupe
3 series cabrio
3 series Gran Coupe
3 series GT
3 series MPV?
5 series sedan
5 series sedan LWB
5 series wagon
5 series coupe
5 series cabrio
5 series GT
6 series coupe
6 series cabrio
6 series Gran Coupe
7 series sedan
7 series sedan LWB
And that is ignoring, the possibilities for a Z2, Z6, X4, X2 as well. That's a lot of freakin cars.
I suppose the 5 coupe/cab make some sense if (sort of like SCOTT says) you think about the 6 series as a two-door 7 series rather than a two-door 5 series as we typically did in the past. But in that case, I'd expect a 5 series Gran Coupe as well, since that would seem to be the sweet spot in the market for such a car. Not to mention, V12 powered 6 series which we have yet to see. Finally, a 7 series wagon/GT should round out the market.
