They do already it called the B7, jk that would be cool if they made an M7 IMO BMW should offer an M for every vehicle in they're lineup, well - the X3 of course

Yes the Alpina B7 is nice but, to me, its more about luxury sport than true sport in the tradition of the M5. I wish that BMW would make a cost no object/kick ass/ultra performance version of the 7. But I'm not holding my breath.

I wouldn't consider the B7 a real branch of BMW...

The closest you'll get to an M7 would be the new 760 IMO

Well, BMW has given us a 6.0 litre TT V12 with 535 bhp and 550 lbs-ft of torque in the 2010 760. But it still lacks the torque to run with the AMG S Class monsters.

At "only" 535 bhp from a TT 6.0 litre motor, there should be tons more power available from tuners. An engine of that size should be able to be tuned up past 700 bhp.

It is frustrating to see BMW trying mightly to dominate every "tall car" segment while simply ceding the large super sedan class to MB without a fight.
