I love marketing mathematics.
Reality is BMW saw what Audi was doing with their A4 coupe, which is make it look different and call it an A5 and saw it was selling like crazy, so BMW figured it'd do the same thing.
Fun fact, every car Audi makes that rivals BMW has a number that is one digit higher than the BMW equivalent:
3 Series = A4
5 Series = A6
7 Series = A8
Upcoming 2 Series = A3
This was also done on purpose.
