I don't know my friend... I remember the lead up to the F80 reveal feeling about the same length. We had about 2 years of spy shots for both generations.
Still disagree. The timeline may have been longer I'm not splitting hairs on that, but we had wayyyyyy many more clear looks and leaks of the F8x. Aurum dust concept M4 and bicyclist spotting of a fully uncovered Yas M3 to name a couple. A quick look shows the Aurum Dust concept was out in August 2013. We had the Austin yellow M4 press release in January 2014.


This has just been render after render, and the leaks have been terribly conservative (M Instagram leak of the yellow and green) then the other one gray M4 with awful lighting beside a building. That's made it seem longer at least.
