Hence why Audi and Mercedes are fast-tracking similar SAC Concepts.
X5M and X6M even surpassed E90 M3 sales again in 2011, just like 2010.

The X5M and X6M will receive replacements under the (F15) and (F16)
Before that a special edition X6M will appear.
As others have suggested, selling a lot of a vehicle doesn't make it an ///M....well at least it didn't before Marketing and Bean-Counters took over ///M. Glad to see it is making you guys money, but let's see what you do with the new M3....a tuned n54/55 will not due. I have faith, but the soul of ///M has resided in its engines, with it's balanced chassis being its backbone. Hopefully, the soul is not gone.
