Choosing the X7 makes perfect sense. It sells more than the 7 Series, and being an SUV is an added advantage.

Wrong, the first model to be launched under the new ALPINA concept will be the 7 series; this X7 is just a farewell to the brand in its previous form.

I wouldn't say SUVs killed them in this particular case; the 7 and the X7 sell almost equally well.

I'm referring to total worldwide X7 sales of 48,000/49,000 and the 7 around a little over 50,000, but as you point out, for example USA accounts for almost 30,000 of those X7s vs aprx. 12.000 7 series

Chinese are still buying limousines, but almost nobody else I guess.
