The 1er coupe run-out model is expected to follow the same fate.

With the advent of the M3 GTS. BMW have put a stop to the availability to buy off the shelf parts as what happened with the M3 CSL.
Like the later response after it was found that People were ordering the Carbon fibre appendages , BMW will only sell GTS parts if the customer has a GTS.
The M division is also working on making sure equipment stays exclusive to the GTS and that patents do not become interpreted with aftermarket suppliers. BMW are being extremely strict in this area that the M3 GTS will remain a BMW through and through and that there will be no interpretations of official patented parts as what happened to the CSL.

I was told that the 3er will debut @ Geneva 2012. With a press launch in late 2011. Geneva 2011 will see the 6er Coupe and after Geneva in late Spring will be the launch of the new 1er which will will have it's official premiere @ the IAA in 2011. As will the next M5.
Scott(sounds like T than G), My question was more on "what will be shown/debut by BMW at Detroit-NAIAS" not a stickpoke on "what we will NOT get".
I know GTS will not be available to us Americans, just thought they would at least show us the teaser. Although, if available, they will sell more GTS in good old US of A than rest of world.

Seems like BMW will be doing Geneva only major product debuts for next few years.

But if it was to be made available in the US, the price would be more like €200k in Europe to pay for all the extra costs associated with bringing it there.

^That's the ugly 3D trapezoid kidney grill I asked SCOTT few posts back. It seems F30 3er may get that since SCOTT reluctant to respond that specific question. I also hope the headlight does not turn out to look that thin. If anything that the next 3er can adapt, I'd want to see as many design elements from Concept Efficient Dynamics model as possible.

These chops received good response from most forums in the past.

To both of you...I don't mind the grill really, it's the RollsRoyse lights that I don't like. Personally, if this gets the Rolls front, doesn't that dilute Rolls since BMW owns it? It's different if some other manufacturer copies the Rolls look for their car, but the parent company copying their own look just doesn't sit well with me, especially when "differentiation" is touted as a holy word.
