M is starting development much sooner and will bring cars to market much sooner. M6 GC is basically done, F80 will be done by fall.
What may happen is that the US sits it out for a while when taking the new M models like they did with the M5, but the M6 is basically from SOP.
It will be interesting to see what the market decides  But The E92 is supposed to have production until next Spring. |
Well, since we know the F32 will come out until summer/fall 2013, the M coupe version will certainly be a full year (or close to) after that F32 intro. Which lines up with the Fall 2014 theory.
But I agree that it does seem the ///M versions are hot on the heels of the standard series version. Which is a good thing.
