They said the R36 isnt even on their minds at this point.

the 4-5 year model life extension it is confirmed soa new R36 wouldnt be due until around 2018 anyway. its a stretch to say it may or may not happen at this point
It would concern me if we knew the R35 was on its last year but thats not the case. and the japanese rumor mill is heavy on a face lift that will further extend the life cycle. For now i wouldnt read too much into all of this
Good to hear. I can't wait to cross shop one in a few years lol. When I can finally afford it!
