However, a recent specimen could be considered as an exception: back in September 2018 the original F87 M2 with N55 engine (model codes: 1H91/1H92/1H93) was rather unexpectedly replaced - because of tightened EU emissions regulations - by the F87 M2 Competition with S55 engine (model codes 2U71/2U72/2U73). The front end got mildly redesigned (including a change from double kidneys to unibrow kidneys + redesigned angular air intakes + triple slats). No LCI, a new F87 M2 variant, but no new generation M2. But then again, rumor has it that, years ago, the M2 Competition was initially supposed to be named "M2 CS" (rumored to feature an S55 engine with 410 hp output), and there was also the rumor of an M2 CSL (rumored to feature an S55 engine with 450 hp output and limited to 999 cars): The "M2 CS" scheduled for production from March 2018 onwards (March 2017 screenshot surfaced on a forum), later rebaptized "M2 Competition" (with delayed start of production in Summer 2018): And this screenshot surfaced in September 2016 on a forum: Also, early 2017, coders retrieved an "F87CS": And also pre-production M2 Competition cars (test mules) popped up as "M2 CS" early 2018. For example this one produced in January 2018 (several months before official launch in Summer 2018): Finally, this 2019 screenshot mentions the 1J31 (model code for the EUR-spec M2 CS that went into production from March 2020 onwards) mistakenly as "M2 CSL": (source: here).

I might not understand this the best, but is it normal to have LCI production a year after initial release? I'm looking at the AWD M3 and seeing the dates, has me thinking.

It's because LCI follows regular 3 series schedule.

Are they only doing a CSL? Is that going to be like M4 GTS levels of money? Was interested in a G82 M4 CS potentially, are they really not making any CS models for the G80 gen?

According to this schedule, the G80 M3 LCI is coming out after just 1.5 years? An LCI has never come out that fast. How accurate is this? Why would anyone lease or buy an M3 this year if an LCI will be out by next Fall/Winter?

G83 is still scheduled for SOP 7/2021– we're just the red headed step child that is forgotten about, as it's all about the G80/G81/G82.

Furthermore, there is absolutely no way - not the tiniest chance - that the 4er's headlights nor any other external features of that car will get updated with the 3er LCI. Quote:

Well ladies and gents, it appears that BMW's ICE/manual transmission days could come to a conclusion by 2027-2029 when the G-chassis M2 and M3/4 finish production. I hope I'm wrong!

I figure the first LCI will actually be since the regular G80 sedan would be due for a facelift.
Regardless I hope there will at least be the option for a new face.

As I mentioned in my first post, the G81 should arrive with the G20/G21/G80 LCI. This isn’t confirmed yet, but the window is small, and it would make the most sense.

Wait so no M3/M4 CS? "Just" CSL?
Or did I just miss it here. Also any indication of manual coming with CS/CSL models or can we assume auto only?
