I'm fairly sure that if a 5er came out in a convertible, it wouldn't be cheap either.

I know it's not the same... but it is nearly the same. Only difference is the body.

With the 6er being based on the 5er, it would not make sense for BMW to produce a 5 Series convertible to directly compete with it. Even if BMW were to produce a 5er bodied convertible, it would most likely cost about the same as the 6er Convertible. In marketing speak, the two cars would have a parasitic effect on each other.
As for a 5er convertible possibly outselling a 3er convertible. That would be highly debatable.
