Cars built for the German market... are sold by production date (Bj bau jahr, meaning build date). Everyone here knows the actually date a car is built on, and they use this to "sell" their cars. Sometimes they use the first date the car was registered(called EZ, erstzulassung) for selling their cars.
I think in Australia you go by calendar year - No?

The companies can pretty much call them whatever model year they want here. My early June 2010 built 128i was a MY2011. My late October built 2011 1M was also a MY2011.
