So, im in the process of buying a second hand BMW car and an issue came up with 1 vehicle i was looking at.

It is advertised as a 2010 and MY2010, yet further investion through REVS and the BMW vin checker puts it with a build date of Nov 2009 (i do realise this meets the BMW MY2010 criteria). In my and my father's opinion (he was a previous car dealer) the cars value at trade in would be based on 2009. Fair trading NSW and VIC states that the manufacture year of a car is determined when the engine is mounted to the chassis.

I know when i bought my 135i i paid the deposit in Oct 2009 and deliberately asked for a Jan 2010 build (March 2010 delivery) to avaid this.

Any further opinions or knowledge on this would be appreciated...
