It could boil down to hair splitting. The E61 M5 wasn't expressly limited, but they sold fewer than 1000 worldwide to my recollection. So, if you apply the same production cadence to the G81, you might end up with a similar total assuming roughly the same production window. However, that cadence isn't set in stone - it can no doubt be adjusted based on demand. I suspect that while the G81's MSRP will be similar to the E61 M5's, it'll be somewhat more popular due to AWD and perhaps a more friendly (if less exciting, subjectively) engine. If, so they'll be pumping them out of assembly a bit more often.
