MY 2016 Production schedule is 8 months

Can anyone confirm that the F85/86 production schedule for MY 2016 is only 8 months? Which started in August 2015 and therefore would end in March 2016?

Been wanting to get confirmation on this. I've heard July is when it ends others saying end of March.

I'm waiting on confirmation from dealer on this before pulling trigger.

Not talking about how long it takes to build or get one but the length of the entire MY 2016 model run. The schedule states it started in August 2015 and will run for 8 months. Just wondering if April is it for 2016. Wondering to see if they will stop production on M's until August when suppsedly 17's will start again.

I believe it's a mistake from last year (MY2015) when the run lasted only 8 months

2016 F85 EOP is July 2016 (confirmed) .... my F85 is being built as a 2016MY in June 2016 ... but I could have waited until July to still get a 2016MY .... 2017MY begins production for August 2016

If you were looking for a June or July build, wouldn't you want to wait for the 2017's? Mine is going into production soon (mine had delays due to selecting individual option) and I wish the production was over soon so that I can wait for the 2017's with the updated iDrive system.

maintenance program changes of course ... only "upgrade" for 2017 is NBT --> NBT2 (Evo)

I sat in the new 7-series and didn't like the navigation changes at all. Unless you need touch screen...

I agree. Every time one of our cars goes in, I get a new 750 as a loaner car. I am not a fan of the new nav maps or the iDrive. I much prefer the system in my 2015 X5 M.
