If the N20 is going to be in the 2012 model expect it from the start, so September/October.

As far as the schedule, well that can change, and who knows if they are talking 4th quarter of their fiscal year or calendar year, big difference!


Unless anyone knows of an instance where BMW changed an engine 2-3 months into a model year?
we all said the same thing with the rear lights of the M3 sedan, with the LCI coming only a few months later. People were pretty bummed b/c their cars were already "out of date" after a few months even tho it was only out for a couple of months. An engine is a bigger deal yea, but the e90 went from a 330 to 335 in a year also which imo was a huge upgrade. so i think it's hard to predict.
