Exactly. Think about the broader context for a moment and you start to realize what a ridiculous non-starter the "EPA OUTLAWS N54 FOR 2012!!!" theory behind the 1M is.
If they don't make a 2012 1M, or sell them as 2012's in the US, that won't be the reason why. The actual reason I can't really fathom given that E82 and E92M production is set to continue well into 2012...other than BMW playing marketing games to gin up interest and suspense for the forthcoming M2 (In which case I would simply say, "fail".)
