Logical explanation: the M version of a series model enters later in the life cycle and usually adopts the LCI of the series model:

Interesting.
G20 3er started production mid-October 2018. So no surprise that the 7th generation 3er gets an update ( Life Cycle Impulse) mid 2022.
G80 M3: production started in November 2020 and first deliveries are scheduled to start in March 2021. So it seems that the launch version will already be replaced by an update mid 2022 (LCI start of production in July 2022).
But then again, the same happened with the F87 M2: deliveries started from April 16, 2016 onwards, LCI happened in 2017 (because of the F22 2er LCI) and production ended at the start of Summer 2018 (replaced by the M2 Competition from September 2018 onwards - moving from N55 engine to S55 engine because of tightened EU emissions regulations).
G82 M4: the launch version is expected to stay around longer, with an update early 2024 (LCI start of production in March 2024). |
