does this mean the e90 will carry into the 2012 MY? or what? I ordered mine on April 16th because I thought they were stopping E90 production in November?

I think that time table is incorrect. The car should go into production in November and will be released at the beginning of 2012. There is no way the sedan is over a year away if production begins in November 2011.

We won't see the F30 sedan for sale in any market until Spring of 2012.

In fact, I wouldn't care at all if it weren't for the fact that I would prefer an M3 sedan over a coupe and may be in a position to buy in 3-4 years if I don't decide to just keep my beloved 1 series. |

This would be fine by me! I graduate from dental school in 2015, so the F32 M3 would be a great grad present to myself!

I am confused, I thought it was confirmed before that the sedan would be released in Europe in April and USA in May? I was really hoping to do a ED in May.

Jason, I'll be shocked if we see a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder engine in the F3x 3 series.
For that matter, I'll be pretty surprised if there are any naturally aspirated engines in any F3x-based vehicle sold anywhere in the world. Quote:

Thanks for all the F3x dates, SCOTT.
Can you give us any precise info on: - Last order date for e90/e91 3 series - Last production date for e90/e91 3 series - Last order date for e90 M3 - Last production date for e90 M3 I realize last order dates may vary by region. But I guess they will all fall within some specific date range. |

The 5er Gran Turismo , however is no volume car. That is why under 25,000 sales within a certain time frame are seen as successful for BMW. BMW's initial projections for 5er GT was 10% of overall 5er sales including the Sedan and Touring. The car has fullfilled it's intentions and is extremely popular in Europe and also China , considering the 5er is available as a Long Wheel base model. Of course in European markets it is outsold by the 5er Touring. For the 3er Gran Turismo again it is not being pushed for volume but at a slightly higher 20% of the next 3er line. Considering the car will be ideally placed to offer the customer a similar experience to the 5er GT and be available with four cylinder power plants. There will be nothing like it in it's class. Just like the interior of the 5er GT is compared to high premium luxury models because of it's ambience. In the current market the BMW 3er Touring E91 in the USA is being buried by the rapid sales of the new X3. In the US if there is a similar SAV alongside the Touring they take the SAV. In a way it is a win-win situation. And it is not just BMW. Audi are experiencing similiar issues between the Q5 and A4 Avant. Mercedes-Benz has breathing space for it's E-Klasse Wagon but wait till the ML-Klasse arrives later this year and watch the Wagon market diminsh. BMW was first , Volvo was second. But other European manufacturers will be pulling out of the wagon market soon enough.
