* E88 1 Series Production end date? *

I'm already pondering what I'm going to do as my lease is up on my blue water 2011 128i convertible in July 2013.

In July 2013 I can only wonder what car I will get.

*My next car has to be a convertible, and some form of light blue with a light grey interior.

Here's my future dilemma:
Some questions:

-Will the E88 1 series convertible still be in production?
-Will the F23 2 series convertible be out yet?

**I like the E88 1 series convertible much more than the F20 1 er design, so I'm expecting to not like the F23 2 series Convetible.

IF the E88 1 series convertible is still in production in May 2013, Then I will Order my car on May 1st!!

Bimmerpost BMW Future models says that the F23 2 series convertible will not even be revealed untill June 2013. (Internet reveal)

Right now I'm thinking that I'll have to get a E88 1 series convertible..which is the car I want as my next car.
Maybe this time I can get a 135i convertible too.
We'll see but it looks like for 2013 or 2013 1 series cars will be the E88??

Or is this assumption based on this link below incorrect?

The E88 ceases production in either 03/12 or 06/12 I can never remember which. You'll be hard pressed to find one in 07/13

You might want the i3 by then. If you do like it, why bother owning one NOW?

Unhappy

I'd never get an i3.

If the production ceases in June 12'....then what car is available for me to purchase?
It has to be small and it has to be something closest to a 1 series.
(i.e. NO 3 series)

I don't know?
It's confusing because the link I posted states that a US "introduction" or whatever they call it isn't listed untill June 2013.

I'd assume that it would be a 2 series convertible....but not debuting untill June 2013...that means it won't even be available for purchase in like January 2014 or something!

What cars will be available?
Very confusing. I guess In the event of no 2 series convertible....I'd have to get a Z4 and even then...that model will be nearing the end of it's production run years.

I have read, however relaible the sources (which I can't remember sorry) that yes, in 2012 the 1'er will be bumped up to the 2'er.
The F20 will be the future 1'er with smaller engines, a hatchback etc.
The late MY2012 2'er / former 1'er will be similar to what it is now, however I'd expect to see the new 4 cyclinder twin scroll turbo instead of the 6 cyclinder due to more economical MPG. Again, I was told this is all speculation, and nothing is certain at this point.

The next model for the US is going to be a 2 series...and yes it will have that 4cyl turbo engine that the Current Z4 is getting.(I think)
