Stupid question: What month does the model year change with the production date? I searched and someone mentioned July. If my car's production date is 7/83 then is my car a 83 or 84? Just curious! Thanks!

FYI: My 6/86 325e was sold as an '87.
Edit: It's a 7/86 325e, my mistake.Last edited by TDE30; 03-08-2009, 05:04 PM.- Trey

Trey, that isn't usual is it? BMW usually does the changeover in 9/yr, so August and older is, say, 86, and September and newer is 87.
This could be a newer chassis thing but I thought it applied to older cars too...

My car's build date is actually 7/86. The way I realized it is a MY87 car was by reading one of those VIN decoder things on Jalopnik recently.
Specifically this part:
The tenth digit of my VIN is an "H" so the car is a MY87.If the car was built between 1980 and 2000 the code is goign to be "A-Y" sequentially excluding the three letters not found in any VIN. For example, a car built in 1994 would have the code "R" and a car from 2000 has the digit "Y" on its VIN plate. Starting in 2010, cars reset with the letter "A" for most companies.- Trey

My 12/86 is an 87.
Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
Lobsterbacks attack the town again
Wrap all my things in aluminum
Beams of darkness streak across the sky
Pink rays from the ancient satellite
Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.Comment
