This makes no sense. This car is now a dated model. The 3 series ended as a 2018 model. The 4, being a model year long, should end as a 2019 model. But to stretch it out like this, I think it's a bad idea.

Staying on top of this thread is really the single best thing you can do to keep yourself educated about current BMW product timelines:

Regarding the 4 Series and M4 continuing on into 2020, BMW products (with rare exceptions) have a seven year cycle. And since the launch of the 3 Series (now 4 Series) coupe has always trailed the launch of the sedan by about a year and a half, so too does its end of production.
