Ok so, the coupe/cabrio timeline is moved forward a little this generation. However, what was the last order date for the E46 3 series and M3 coupe/cab? Wasn't it right up until July 2006 or so, perhaps a bit earlier for the M3 than the 3 series? If so, that should put the respective E92/E93 dates early 2013 I'd think. Though I could see how the M3 last order date could possibly be late 2012. However, at that point, will they even bother with a 2013 MY M3? Its a big question mark.

The Chinese market 3er Sedan (F34) will debut at Beijing that April.

3er Gran Turismo (F35) ( 3er GT and 3er Li share the same wheelbase)- the new addition to the 3er family will debut in 2013.
Thanks for the info on those, especially model codes. So, any chance BMW will pursue M variants of the 3 GT and 5 GT (and 1 GT for that matter)?
