It will debut sometime in 2013, probably second half. So it is only just a over a year from completion. However, European sales won't start until sometime after that, with US sales not likely until early 2014 (see F10 M5 staggered rollout schedule for a comparison).

i thought ///M was trying to release cars earlier and that's why theyve been more involved with the platform earlier in development.
Not sure about that, but I will point out that the F80 M3 will be here more than a year closer to the F30 3 series launch than the E90 M3 was to the E90 3 series launch.
