Launch date in Germany

Does anyone know when this vehicle was first launched domestically? USA launch was impressively in September 2013, against July 2013 Job 1. Just 2 months versus 3-4 months for F30, G12, and G20. Carmaker1 (talk) 07:01, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seems available in October[1], in June it seems like specs and photos were released[2]. Toasted Meter (talk) 17:00, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, thank you for the information and the very prompt response, as I thought it might fall on deaf ears. That's quite shocking in fact, as I always expected Germany to come first and not USA. I honestly wonder why that happened, as the first full month of US sales was October 2013? They rolled export F32s out earlier than Germany, in "late summer"/September.[3] [4][5] Why do you think that might have happened Toasted Meter, and do you think we should add all of them to the article? Thanks again, as this was very helpful, in helping map out the timeline.--Carmaker1 (talk) 19:14, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adding the German launch date seems fine. If I had to speculate why, maybe some strange approval/emissions thing or some delay to European specific parts?

Hmm, maybe either or was the case with F32 in DE? Apparently G30 was launched parallel in both USA and Germany during Feb 2017. I am looking for Job 1 2016 date on that. Any issue with US launch date of September 2013 being added here?

Both dates seem relevant, it does seem odd so you might want to double check the dates are correct. Toasted Meter (talk) 22:05, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
