Was down to the car entering a new segment that it had to "established" before expansion could be considered. This period takes about two years to deem whether the car is or not successful.

Because the 1er is now in it's second generation the cycle will be shorter with the new car (Coupe) appearing 14-16 months later.

So F22 should be out Nov 2011 - Jan 2012
No. The Sporthatch is launched in early summer with the on sale date in Europe from September and the Coupe comes 14-16 months later from the launch.
