My Ride: E60 "Stripper"
Now C6 "Stripper"
Since MY07 started with March 2006 production will MY08 start in March 2007 or September 2007 production? 
Hmmm...MY06 started with September 2005 production so 06 550i's were only out for about 6 months. Then low and behold the 07's come out making the 06's lose their value.
I just wanna know when my old battleship will take another hit in depreciation this coming Sept. or next March!

From what I've read elsewhere on this board, MY06 came out in March, not in September, so there actually was a full year of life in that model year. Sounds like the MY05 buyers are the ones that got screwed...
Personally, I think it's understandable that BMW would want to stagger the release dates of their lineup throughout the calendar year. Having the 3s, 5s, 6s, and 7s all get updated in the same two-month window is probably not ideal from a sales/marketing perspective.

I wouldn't put it past BMW to do an E60 facelift for the MY08 or MY09 model year.
