Not everywhere, MY does not count here at all. What counts in the UK is registration date of which we have two changeovers a year.

Plus, my understanding is that, in Europe, they typically don't distinguish model years from build years as a matter of practice like we do in North America. So the September factory changeover is not necessarily a factor in what BMW NA calls the car and what the VIN reads. Just as important to note is the fact that BMW often makes major changes during the February/March timeframe as well.

I am sure many manufacturers know this and will "tailor" it for the local market.

Again.....the T4 will be a new model so whatever you call, it its still new.
