You are correct, Except there never has been an 8 series sedan until now. There has never been a 4 dr model higher than the 7. The 6 series gran coupe was always below the 7er.
The 8er coupe and gran coupe are a clean break from the 6 series which has always been on the same chassis as the 5er and they are indeed going to positioned above the 7er.
