I believe you mean March 2006. Right?
No. No.

US MY2007 started in March 2004

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets. First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.

When BMW LAWYERS say it begins...check the fine print. They "reserve the right" to declare what MY is when.

Bottom line: I think it all has to do with lease residuals. Whatever, I have to say it doesn't make any of us with older models feel any better when our cars are suddenly another year older, 6-months-in-advance. But who cares about us; we've already bought in....

Cheers,

Fair enough.

When did they last declare one?

And where?

It's actually not when the BMW lawyers say it begins. In the US it begins when BMW NA marketing decides and says that it begins. They don't need lawyers to call it a new MY, they just do it.

What impresses me is that all on here seem to "know" when that is - organically.

And what makes me smile is that though the US MY "starts" in March, there also seems to be a September "update" advice for dealers because guess what... the major manufacturing changes take place in September when the EU MY starts.
