Is it more expensive to maintain 2 production lines for 2 different engines, or have one engine and swap the software depending on which car it's going to?
Just because it's a *more expensive* engine doesn't make it *more expensive to produce* if you're looking at revenue/margins. 2 different things.

M3 sedan production ALWAYS ceases 1-2 years before M3/M4 coupe... because the sedans come out first..

The introduction of the new driving cycle WLTP accelerates the end of production for the BMW M3 F80 which will now end in May 2018. Just like all other gasoline engines, the BMW M3 F80 would have to be fitted with an Otto particle filter as of June 1, 2018, but the M Division has chosen to end the production of the fifth M3 generation a little earlier than expected.
