When are we going to begin to see press reviews of these cars?

Seems a little odd that the M3/M4 were introduced months back, are in production and order banks are filling up, yet BMW has yet to let the automotive press get their hands on the cars. Have I just missed the reviews? or is BMW holding out?

According to Jason the first press reviews will start with a launch event in June. Far, far away still

Thanks - Seems a bit strange that press events would be held so late - just about contemporaneous with customer deliveries. Almost seems like BMW is afraid of potentially negative reviews.

Anyone else find it very odd that we were provided with lease numbers when customers don't even have build dates (i.e., can't lock in) and the cars won't even be here until June/July??? And now it seems launch cars will take April build slots and customer cars aren't expected to be built until May!

I would have figured in the interim we could at least read some reviews which would get us even more hyped up. All these auto show cars just sitting around now collecting dust! This wait is brutal!

Based on past history, does anyone remember the timeframe of when independent reviewers where given the M3 for review?

They said not to expect reviews til late may or early June

Is that typical with BMW? This is a bit after orders began.
