These info is sent to the assembly plant where the car actually starts to be assembled or made.  After the assembly is completed, the car is tested and what not and then it sits in the car storage yard god knows for long, before it is packed on trailers and delivered to a specific car dealer showroom.Usually, it may be a few weeks or months from this "production date" before your car is actually at the showroom where you can inspect and view the car. There may also be time needed to get loan approved, tender special car number etc.  Once all that has occurred, only then you have the "registration date" of the car, which is after the car is finally registered at JPJ. This is the date that you will see on the registration card and will be the reference later if and when you want to sell it.Let's say you want a "2014" car. You can register a car in Jan or Feb 2014, but don't be surprised or disappointed if the date of production was actually in Nov or Dec 2013. Check in bmwvin.com to know the actual production date.If you truly want a 2014 car that was produced in 2014, then the best bet (no guarantees) is to register a car that was delivered from the factory in Mar 2014 onwards.  Note that some unpopular or slow moving models would spend a long time in storage before they are delivered to the showrooms ......:motz:</blockquote>
