Why this timing I don't know. My best guess is the ability to debug S58 in F97 shortened the G80 development cycle. And once the car is ready why not sell it and make tons of money?

And I think you know I don't ever talk about exterior design. That's what Scott is for.

I am trying to figure out the likely SOP for the G82 M4 given what we now know about the EOP of the F models, and the SOP of the G models.

Given:
EOP F30 - 10/18 SOP G20 - 11/18 one month turnaround even with a completly new design

EOP F32 - 6/20 SOP G22 - 7/20 again a one month turnaround with a new design

EOP F80 - 5/18 SOP G80 - 3/20 probably due to the 4 series schedeule

EOP F82 - 6/20 SOP G82 - TBA

Given that BMW can re-tool the production lines of the F30 & F32 in one month to produce the G20 & G22, is it not logical to think that they can do this with the G82 as well, and start production in 7/20? Or is there some physical reason why this would not be possible, or a business related reason? As a wise man once said, "Once the car is ready why not sell it and make tons of money?"
