Just because some customers want a product doesn't mean you can make a business case for it.

I can totally appreciate that standpoint. But, I'd argue that there are cars for which they have done several stage kits for that may have better overall sales numbers, but the % of those sales that are being sold to anyone that will actually mod a car are smaller (like the 428i x-drive). This car is being purchased by people far more interested in increasing it's ability than many of the more basic coupes and sedans they've got better kits for. That's all...
