The consensus is the XM would vastly outsell (and out-profit) your theoretical 'lightweight' 2-seater hybrid S58…. And BMW's entire reason for existence is to sell vehicles and make profits.
BMW sells plenty of cars and is already profitable. It wouldn't hurt them to make a cool sports car even if it is limited in availability or sales. Would be nice to see something cool for the 50th anniversary of M.
