We've been reading some confusion in the threads as to the reveal timeline for the M235i / 2 series. To clear that up, it's as follows:

If production starts November...but the debut is is in January 2014 - something seems off.
^^^Wouldn't the dealerships already have them in stock by mid/late-December? Does the M235i have electric steering as well? I thought it did... |

The 4 Series began production last month, but will be making its auto show debut at Frankfurt this month (next week).

I'm just surprised they are going to premiere the M235i next to the M3 and M4 side by side.
Unless they want to make it seem like the M235i will be a better purchase for those that can't afford an M4, then that would make sense. |

my opinion is that the 2-series is not coming to the US as a 2014 model year, but later in 2014 as a 2015. does anyone here have OFFICIAL confirmation this is incorrect?

Dealers will be expecting them to come in late December/January If you are interested in a 2 series, I would suggest to put a deposit down to secure your allocation at your dealership. |

Nice! Have fun with the 135is!
As far as info, I would take it as semi-official as my buddy is my CA and confirmed these dates and already confirmed my allocation as he saw it on the dealers inventory last month |

oh nice. my dealer, when i was ordering the 1er, told me that the 1er is going to be 'rebadged' as a 2-series for the 2014 US market.....a very weird turn of events if that were to happen. I had posted about it in the 1er forum as well, at which point pretty much EVERYONE told me that was probably incorrect. They also saw the 2er listed in the order inventory---but told me that it was still an E82-----which was a VERY puzzling statement. lol

It won't simply be a "re-badge" so to speak. With it being wider, longer and apparently lighter than the current e82, it should be a couple notches up from the current line. Especially the M235i |

This also seems a** backwards to me as well. Like an afterthought.

I personally feel they re-scheduled the release because of not only the i3 and i8, but also because of the M4.
I just think they didn't want the M235i to take that spotlight. |
