Thinking that way, why not drop the M3 and make a M4 GC? NOPE...can't kill the icon. How about we keep the M3 and make a M4 GC? SWEET! Well wait...that's not really removing anything. How about make a M4 GC and call it an M3? This could happen in a single 7 year life cycle. IMO...this is the direction they will be heading in...keeping the 3er 4 doors and the 4er 2 doors.
My head hurts...are they making any money? 
You may not need an X3M, but I do and there is a huge market which again = MONEY.

AND they will actually be ADDING new models for at least 2 life cycles. That's @ 14 years folks.
IMO what will happen is the something similar to this:
The 4 series GC will be come the 3 series 4 door...in like 14 years. |
I have an X3 and contemplate swapping my GC for the upcoming X3M..but it'll be priced into the stratosphere and I already have a truck. Makes zero sense and for the cost of the upcoming truck, I'd get a Cayman
.
I'd like to see the sales charts for all the models. Seems like the bean counters could easily use that (and probably will at some point).
