If you think about it, BMW had too many engine configurations in the previous gen models. Take the 3er for instance...
it had about 6; i.e. 320i, 323i, 325i, 328i, 330i, 335i;
compare that to now with only 4; 316i, 320i, 328i, 335i;
...considering that was only on the petrol sedans, I don't all these new models will do any more harm(if any) than the previous gen 3er. I think the only differentiator here would be the looks, that might get confusing to the non BMW fans. But then again every other brand is doing the same; Merc, Audi, + the rest!
