I have a random thought regarding why the 1M is being released as a 2011. Partially it is about US fuel economy rules as 2012 will have tighter standards. However, for US customers anything built after June 30 2011 must be sold as a 2012. Sounds like a single production run and a short model year for the 1M. I suspect the order book will only be open a short time.
Now I thought the 2012 EU 1 series hatch will be out way in advance of the 2013 US 1 series. This makes me wonder if there is going to be an early production cut off for the 2012 1 series.
