I am more curious about whether the G20 (and F40) *20i will move to a B38 3 cylinder. It seems they could tune it to 125hp/L in the same way that the *30i vehicles use a B48 with 125hp/L.

Speaking of the F40, if it were to arrive on the typical seven year model cycle, it would be launching next year too - just prior to the G20 in fact, just as the E87 did vs. the E90 and the F20 did vs. the F30. Yet, I don't recall seeing many (if any) mules yet, whereas the F20 mules have been around for years. And I don't think we have any dates listed for F20/F21 EOP. So will the F20 live on longer? And if so, how long until the F40 arrives?
I'm wondering about this too. Perhaps the F40 will launch after the G20, which could mean a 7,5 or even 8 year lifespan for the F20.
There are rumors about updates for the F20 this summer, which would make sense if it will live on another two years.
