My thoughts thinking through a few scenarios
Version 1:
SCOTT26 confirmed the G80 is going to share the design theme of the next gen 4 series G22/G82 so on the assumption that we will not see the M3 revealed until after or possibly the same time as new 4 series (even a 4 concept)
fall 2019/winter 2020 4 series live or concept at auto show
Spring M3 2020 debut online
M3 orders summer 2020 for fall deliveries as 2021MY to dealers along the same timeline as 4 series coupe
M4 coupe is fast follow with spring 2021 on sale
-Version 1b: M3 fully delayed to match M4 debut with onsale spring 2021
Version 2: they prioritize M3 getting to market regardless of 4 series, despite design similiarity
M3 introduced Fall 2019/winter 2020
M3 orders winter 2020 for spring 2020 delivery start as 2020MY
