Someone pulled the trigger on publishin "the calendar".

Looks like it may be genuine - the dates jive with the collective info posted on other sites and here, as well the German mags I consult.

Interestingly, the 1 series coupe/convertible are not yet confirmed in the calendar, but (more) recent reports have BMW's Panke confirm them for 08 model year

I wonder what the "MPV" project is. Anyone with an idea?

Multi Passenger Vehicle?

Mazda has a MPV model in their line up already. A mini van.

Panke did not convifrm coupe/convertible, just said "alternatives", although yes he pretty much was hinting at coupe/convertible.

This document is a few months dated, I believe it was published early 2005. Its not exactly complete though. Its missing some obvious details such as the E46 Cabrio, and its missing the Z4 Coupe and Z4M (although these may actually be the same "E" code, in which case it would be fine).

This document is NOT, I repeat NOT the calender that was/is being discussed in the other thread and on Bimmerfest about the 335. This is some kind of general product planning outline, probably from Panke himself.

The 'roll-out calender' comes from BMWNA and is for dealers to use when figuring out what models to order at what time of the year. It shows which specific Series & respective model numbers will be available, month by month.

Yup...Rich is correct. I have personally seen the BMW NA model calendar in the past, this is NOT it.

Gee, nobody with Excel could make something in five minutes that looks like that.

OK, then, compared with the information posted in these fori already, coupled with Bimmerfest, etc. we are starting to get a picture of what is to come.

BTW I know that the multifunctional concept is planned, but is the MPS based on the three series the same thing only smaller ?

if this calendar is true the e90 is planned to stay for 7.5 years !!

This is longer than the previous model 6 years only
