The way you ask this question actually contains in itself the reason I can't answer it. LCIs are considered as separate models, and so I can see which models will be offered at LCI, which ones will be replaced or cancelled. With the M cars, an LCI is not formally considered as such, so all I know is the original production starts and ends as they were planned before the model launch. Marketing conditions often result in premature model cancellations but since they are driven by sales and not engineering, they are invisible to me. Cases in point: early cancellations of F1x 6 series or G32 in the US market. I never knew about those until they were reported by others.
