since the 5 and 6 look very different, it would be sweet if there were sedan and coupe of each.

As much as this would be a cool idea, I'm starting to feel like BMW is getting way too influenced by the outside market now. First the x5 and x6 M's to compete with the ML amgs and cayenne gts etc. All these x1, x4 concepts to just match the GLK? Now a 5er coupe to copy the E coupe?
I just don't understand why...not that I don't think they'll be good cars

Salivating at the idea of an M5 coupe...
I'm excited by the prospect of a 5 series coupe, and even more so by the corollary that an M5 coupe might ensue. It's always been a question in my mind as to what the "next step up" from the 3 series coupe (or M3 coupe) would be for the consumer who still wants a sporty car. There's such a large price gap. A person stepping up from a 70k M3 coupe, for instance, who wants a sporty coupe, finds themselves faced with the difficult reality that there are very few realistic options, most of which are considerably more expensive than 70k - Porsche being one of them (and of course Porche's aren't for everyone).
The same is true of the person stepping up from a 45-50k 3 series coupe. What is their next logical step, assuming they want to purchase another sporty car, but a "step up"? True there are a few options, the Mercedes E-coupe being one of them... but again, there aren't MANY. That being said, I think a decision by BMW to pursue the 5er coupe satiates a long felt need in this market niche, myself amongst them. BMW doesn't have to produce the car in mass numbers; undoubtedly they will do their market research to see how much production is merited by the demand. But by introducing a 5er coupe, BMW can foster loyalty from within their customer base of those stepping up from a 3, and also tap into a niche that has been left long empty by other manufactureres, thus bringing in customers from other brands who have often too few choices. I find myself excited by the prospect of stepping into an M5 coupe, after it comes time for me to part with my M3 ( I know, I need to update my signature). The possibility now exists that I might no longer have to depart BMW as a brand to make the next step up. What I do after the M5 coupe becomes the real question haha... P car maybe? - esquire

Sorry, but the M6 was in no way, shape, or form an M5 coupe. The M6, for all intents and purposes was a 2+2 seater (the seats in the rear were an absolute joke), while a potential 5 series coupe would still be a 5 seater. Let's also not forget to mention drastically differing designs of these two cars. In fact, the only thing similar about the two were their engines and their price points, and even those had a 10-15k price difference, if memory serves. - esquire
