Now that we know the SOP, I have an explanation of that: it was leaked _very_ early in its development cycle. If that hadn't happened, I would have broken the news some time in the second half of 2020, more than 2 years before SOP - which is pretty much on par with everything else I report here.
I suspect BMW was actually testing the waters at a point where the project didn't yet have a lot sunk costs and would've been easy to cancel. So yeah, the could have thought about a limited run at first but then the enthusiastic reception convinced them to make it into more than just a small experiment.
