Well ladies and gents, it appears that BMW's ICE/manual transmission days could come to an end by 2027-2029 when the G-chassis M2 and M3/4 finish production. I hope I'm wrong!
M3 has 2 LCI
One at the time as 3er
Another when there's M4 LCI
This. I feel for the LCI F80 buyers who had their cars' design replaced again the year after when the F82LCI was released. (https://www.autoevolution.com/news/2...ts-115054.html)

Lesson in all of this -> the 'optimum and final' G80 design will emerge with the G82 LCI as they now share front ends since the F8x generation (an unnecessarily limiting decision IMO by M that deviates from BMW's own strategy of further separating the 3er and 4er lines).

Having been burned by the F80 launch I decided to drop later into the M lifecycle and benefit from the earlier year production fast-fails. No surprise then I'm now driving a F87 CS and not waiting for a Year 1 G80.
