I.e., it would debut next early year, just prior to the F32, similar to the way the F20 debuted just prior to the F30. However, the lack of any F22 mules to speak of had already cast a lot of doubt on this happening. And the release of this new 135is model just makes it even more unlikely.

F22 no doubt will have loads of Euro exposure before allocation comes to US & Canada! Just like the X1 and outgoing E83 X3 - It was well past its due date and NA kept getting these old models that Europe was done with!!
Oh to quote your second post 1 series (all) and X1 are made at the Leipzig plant
