When does the 2016 340i Model year roll over to 2017?

mwh2009 · 03-05-2016, 11:58 AM

Trying to figure out how much time I have left to buy a 2016?

Thanks

Production switches to the MY17 in mid July.

one would want 16 or 17 in order to get full maintenance program.

Good info. I'm trying to figure out timing on an order myself and wondered if an order placed in late May would work out for an end of July/beginning of August delivery.

Wondering the same thing. Were finally ready to order an individual 340i for ED... but probably can't pick it up until at least late August or early September... looks like will get stuck with 2017 MY

is this also when the 440i comes out in coupe/gran coupe models?

CruzM3 · 04-30-2016, 06:14 PM

Any ideas on the changes for MY2017?

claykin · 05-01-2016, 06:42 AM

One known change is the addition of mobile Hotspot as an option.

And for NA market MY17 production begins July 1 in Germany. SA sometimes switches August 1.

Do we know of any other changes for MY2017?

I'd go for a 2017. Comparing Apples for Apples, my 2016 configuration is $2100 more then a comparable 2017.

Did we double check the pricing guide?

Not to mention you may end up paying that out for maintenance items..

Did you include the $995 destination fee? On the pricing guide its not included in the MSRP.

The only difference should be that M package is included. Residuals and incentives are generally also be higher for the outgoing model year and lower for the new model year.

At the end of the day, maintenance, residuals, incentives, and dealer discounts, your going to pay more for a 2017.

I wasn't aware BMW had made changes to the maintenance program - this may be my last BMW lease depending on the changes. At least I got a 2016 and won't have to worry about it for 4 years!
