They have an unreal amount of data telling them that a coupe appeals to a more upscale buyer who wants differentiation over the "entry level" sedan 3er BMW and is willing to pay for it.

Audi has the same or similar data. It's not a matter of one company copying the other; more a matter of both companies fully understanding their market and responding in the way they think is best. The fact that they reach the same conclusion is a reflection of the fact that they both have very efficient product research functions.
