Well, two things make a September 2013 timeline for LCI not make sense:

1) Would mean that MY2013 remains in production for 19 or 20 months. March 2012 production thru Sept 2013 production. Not a common scenario. It makes more sense for MY2014 to begin in March 2013 and run through March 2014. Which leads to #2 below....

2) BMW typically has the LCI in the 5th model year of the 7 year cycle. This would correspond with MY2015 for the F25.

If they refresh the F25 in March 2014 (i.e. a year from now), it would fit right in with the introduction of the X4. Both SAVs will be new and fresh!


Stranger things have happend, however. Only BMW knows at this point.
