Pretty sure they can do both, no? Vying to attract a different audience doesn't mean you HAVE to abandon your current base. And I feel like BMW is smart enough to know this.
I just question using your marquee vehicle to do that. It's a pretty bold choice. This car represents a program that has catered mostly to enthusiasts. To do an about-face and turn it more into a marketing opportunity just feels wrong, even if I agree with attracting a younger, more savvy buyer.
