But ynguldyn is the one to listen to when it comes to production vehicle info. A G81 is different from a CS or CSL or what have you. Sure, it's not going to be huge volume. But it's just not the type of vehicle you market as a "special" deal. Same reason you don't see these come in the final year or whatever (I was actually surprised it's trailing the LCI by even a few months - but I forgot to consider the fact that the G21 goes longer than the G20 which helps justify that). I mean if you go through the effort to create stampings for the fenders, rework all sorts of stuff (see the F81 conversions for how much needs to change), it doesn't make sense to only produce it for a short time.

The previous two ///M Touring that went into production were also limited (E34 M5 - 1000units/891(2*) built/ E61 1200units/1,025 built).
*Theres one special E34 M5 Touring used for development purposes stashed away in a vault, unseen by the public to this day.
Its not that it's going to be produced over a short time, but that the additional time and complexities require it to be a bit segregated from the standard line.
