Let me guess BMW's marketing strategy for a coupe variant of E90. Example, does a CLK look anywhere near a C ? If CLK is better why there are more C than CLK, the answer is simple:-
CLK has 4 seats, C has 5 seats -> C is more practical
CLK has only 2 doors , C has 4 -> C is more practical
CLK is 20% more expensive than the C -> C is a better buy and no less in performance and quality as they are both designed from same chasis
CLK list of optional equipment are more -> so end up CLK is MORE expensive
CLK resale value gets heavier hit.
There are more parts from tuners for C than CLK because less people have CLK -> the fun of mod goes to C.
(This is my another worry that the parts for E92 mod could be more expensive if they can not be shared with the E90)
