Look at last years X4 Concept as an example. Palbay got the first spyshots around July-August.
Existing variants of current cars can hide under the bodies of that same member of the family and go unnoticed but still be able to be evaluated as that model.
Before final prototypes initiate public testing.
The proposal for Gran Coupe is based on the F20 so there is flexibility to use that extended platform. BMW are eyeing global reaction to the competition before striking. The car has already been designed.

Dear lord let this be true
I was leaning towards a new S3 in 2015 but this changes the game.
But honestly I don't see why BMW would wait any longer
The success of the CLA can't be denied. Didn't mercedes edge out BMW in 2013 due to massive surge in the compact class CLA?
