Interesting, I didn't realize that the 1 series actually debuted before the E90 3 series (which hit March 2005). As 008 said then, it sure does seem likely we'll see the F20 debut next fall.

That's still doesn't really provide a timeline for the F2x coupe. I can't see them actually going 7 years from the 2007 launch of the E82 coupe. I'd think they'd want to release the various body styles gradually, and a lot closer together like they do with the 3 and the 5/6. Of course, with rumors of a 1 series sedan and GT there's lots of models to fill the gaps.
