When's the new F80 M3 sedan release date?
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com So my option now is to either wait for the F80 M3 to come out, or sign a lease on a 2013 335i now. Does anyone have any idea when the new M3 sedan is expected to be released/go into production/start deliveries? Is this 18 months or more out? If so, am I right to assume it makes the most sense to sign a 24 month lease on a new 2013 335i now? The other option might be to forgo the new M3 entirely and get a Tesla Model S Performance, and I'd only have to wait 6 months for that. |

Talking to my salesman (here in Germany through military sales) he said that he THINKS that orders could be taken on them as early as next April or May with deliveries around September. That is his assumption based on 10 years of working with new BMWs.

Yes, Q1-Q2 of 2014.
The E92 M3 coupe will be produced until mid-2013 and the E93 M3 until a few months after the coupe stops production. The successor M3/M4 will come as a 2014 model year car and only after all E9x models cease production. Expect debut Q1-Q2 of 2014.

Not sure why they would wait until FY 2014 is almost over to actually start getting cars out. That would be a complete departure of normal practice of pretty much all auto makers. We are starting to see 2013 cars already hitting dealers and we are in Q2 of 2012 right now. |

Jason is speaking the truth. The release was pushed back because of internal politics and marketing considerations. They do not want to kill off sales of the E92/93 M cars while there is still demand. The car, like the new M5 and M6 was, is on target to be finished well before the on sale date. Next summer/fall debut (depends on the Frankfurt date ) and sales commencing in Spring of 2014.
That is the current off the record unofficial inside word- can that change due to some unforeseen circumstance, yes. Also- the M6 Gran Coupe is slated for a debut before the F80, next summer.

So they will be calling it a 2015 then? Because that would make no sense at all to call it a 2014 unless its a 2014.5 with a quick introduction of the 2015.
If that does happen, still skeptical, then I guess I will be getting a 2013.5 E92 M3 instead as I want one before I leave here and dont want to have to fly back over to take delivery. |

Depending on your date of exit (USAREUR etc.)- you can have the car shipped stateside without any need to be here; happens all the time. Just have to have the bill of sale complete. Lots of troops leaving now are doing just that.

Wait, you're meaning the F82 M3/4 Coupe? If so that one won't be out before Fall 2014 (at the earliest)/Spring 2015 (at the latest).
Best regards, south

I dont know, I guess ill cross that bridge when it comes.
Im trading my 135i in before deployment, and then they are holding my order until i get back. My salesman said he would put 2014 M3 on there, just so i get THE first slot for one, but also I can change to whatever vehicle I want when the time actually comes to finalize the order. Id really like the new M3, I just would also really like to stay with a coupe. Guess its a good problem to have though. :-) |
