Did you mean production of G82 M4
CSL ends? Standard G82 M4 production should end February 2024, just prior to the LCI.
We could probably additionally infer that the G81 will start when G80 LCI starts. Perhaps that's less certain than the other dates, but it seems strongly likely it will not be here this year, and equally unlikely it will come later than the LCI (new form factors for existing models almost never do).
We could add G83 dates too, but it's similar to the G82 except for perhaps end date.
Also, AWD M3/M4 coming in July (along with the G83).
But yes, that's a good roadmap for BMW M's performance cars through this decade. What lies beyond, including what form the next M3/M4 take in 2028 is still unknown. It's obvious they will be PHEV at a minimum, but there could be arguments made for BEV or to retain a combustion engine for one final generation to end just prior to the 2035 date loosely targeted by many geographies and manufacturers to complete the transition to all electric new consumer vehicle sales.
