It's annoying indeed, but it does have its logic. As with most models, the cycle lasts about 7 years. And it looks like the new M3/M4 will come right about 7 years after the release of the predecessor.
What's bothering is the large period between the release of the 3 series and the M3. The reasons are relatively obvious. On the one hand the M3 has the same front as the 4 series resp. the M4, which will be introduced much later. So they can't/don't want to publish this before. The other reason could be that the M3 could now take potential buyers of the current M4, because many would no longer buy the old model if the new one is already available (even if in sedan form).
