We study a class of inhomogeneous and anisotropic G2 string cosmological models. In the case of separable G2 models we show that the governing equations reduce to a system of ordinary differential equations. We focus on a class of separable G2 M-theory cosmological models, and study their qualitative behavior (a class of models with time-reversed dynamics is also possible). We find that generically these inhomogeneous M-theory cosmologies evolve from a spatially inhomogeneous and negatively curved model with a nontrivial form field toward spatially flat and spatially homogeneous dilaton-moduli-vacuum solutions with trivial form fields. The late time behavior is the same as that of spatially homogeneous models previously studied. However, the inhomogeneities are not dynamically insignificant at early times in these models.
