When's the new 3 series come out?

I am interested in buying a new BMW 3 Series Touring and have heard rumours that a new model is to be introduced later this year.

My local BMW dealer says not, but I'm reluctant to commit and find out later that I have an old model and loose out on values. Have you any info on the current situation?

It's not far off but even if there was a new 3 Series saloon this year the Touring would not be until next year.
