We "know" the E82 is scheduled to die this year. We also know there will be June builds of the 1er in Leipzig -- confirmed by a local dealer who reported the build date of an actual order -- and that the Leipzig plant is scheduled to start production of the i3 in August. (In fact, actual production vehicles have already started to come off the line since early this year.) Last, BMW has said that production form i3's will be seen before the Frankfurt show in September.
My unsubstantiated, wild-ass guess is that the last E82 will be built July 19… and that will be the end. The line then will be changed over to start making the i3 in volume by the end of August. No more of this:
And more of this:
