If it hasn't yet then I'm not sure it ever will. MY2018 for the F30 starts in July and that will be the final model year.

I am more curious about whether the G20 (and F40) *20i will move to a B38 3 cylinder. It seems they could tune it to 125hp/L in the same way that the *30i vehicles use a B48 with 125hp/L.

Speaking of the F40, if it were to arrive on the typical seven year model cycle, it would be launching next year too - just prior to the G20 in fact, just as the E87 did vs. the E90 and the F20 did vs. the F30. Yet, I don't recall seeing many (if any) mules yet, whereas the F20 mules have been around for years. And I don't think we have any dates listed for F20/F21 EOP. So will the F20 live on longer? And if so, how long until the F40 arrives?
