In the absence of two-door 6 Series models, they may finally take the opportunity to separate the 3 and 4, moving the 4 considerably up market. This has been incorrectly predicted for two generations now (the E92/E93 were originally going to be called 4 Series too, but that was reversed and delayed until the F32/F33), but the move seems more compelling than ever if the 6 goes away. Or, if they don't go this route then there is going to be a massive gap between the 4 and 8. Of course, even moving the 4 up won't close that gap completely. And interestingly, Mercedes will be positioned just right to fill it with the upcoming C238/A238 two door E Class models.
And it would appear an M6 equivalent is gone too unless they will build a true M8 which seems a bit unlikely. By contrast, E63 coupe and convertible are coming to join the E63 sedan and touring.
