2013/2014 Clarification of F80 M3 production

Okay, so I've been reading here and there and all seems a bit scattered about the production year of F80 M3. I'm a bit confused..


1. E92/E93 M3 productions are ending Spring of 2012. Correct?

2. Earliest F80 M3 INTRODUCTION to public is Fall of 2012??

3. Earliest F80 M3 production for US market is WHEN? (In other words, when can we (US residents) order F80 M3?)

E92/3 production probably won't end until November at the earliest.
F80 US production probably won't happen before July 2013.

One need only look at the distances of each model. There really is everything!
Introduction of E90: March 2005
E92 Introduction: September 2006

E90 LCI implementation: September 2008
Eiführung E92 LCI: March 2010!

There were always 18 months in between!
Now that the F30 was introduced in February 2012, the F32 will probably come in August 2013 on the market!

Therefore, it is on the current status as follows:
The E92 and E92 series are yet to be built around June 2013, and with them the M3 models. As long as the are still available, there is no F80 will be in stores!

There remain two possibilities:
1) With the setting of F80 Series E92/93 is introduced, ie June / July 2013
2) The series E92/93 will run until June / July 2013, but the M3 will be set in advance and replaced by the F80 sedan!

Is unlikely that V6 and V8 will be offered in parallel!

http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=542482
... an Modelyear 2013 isn´t official confirmed(?) ... and also if the standard E92/93 gets an 2013er, if that is the case for the M3s.

Matt Russell shed some light into this during our interview at NAIAS. There will be a E92/3 M3 in the calendar year 2013, and there won't be a new M3 while the E92/3 M3 are still in production. That's why we also anticipate the F80 to be available in Summer 2013 at the earliest. See below for Matt's answers.

Quote:
Are there any other special edition M3s coming before end of production for the E92/E93 M3 coupe and convertible?
You shouldn’t be surprised if we have some more. The car is not at the end of the production. We have the car until 2013 [calendar year] as a coupe and convertible. So if we have time to do some more special editions, I would be thrilled.

What is the timeline for the next M3 sedan and coupe?
There won't be a next generation M3 introduced before the current M3 coupe and convertible end of production. [Note: read together with the answer directly above, that would mean that there will be no F80/F82 M3 (sedan/coupe) prior to mid-late 2013 at the earliest.]

Best regards,
south

No M3 until 2013.

In Beijing 2010 BMW presented the Gran Coupe Concept Car.
Which it was actually a preview of the new 6er. But as a four door Coupe.
Later in Paris 2010 , BMW Presented a 6er Coupe Concept Car.
In April 2011 , BMW launched the 6er Coupe.
And now in March they launch the 6er Gran Coupe in Geneva.

You can see the timeline.

My lease runs until February 2013!
When asked if I would like to change the port on the F80, I was told in Garching:
"No, it would be 6 months will need to renew! But then they can go the F80!"

Thus would the appointment August 2013 actually be realistic!

You're talking about 2014?

How can you then already an M3 coupe (F82) order?

The F80 M3 sedan will not see its market launch until Spring of 2014.
