As this is the new face-lift version of the current model called the LCI - life cycle impulse which happens half way through the life of their cars. I checked before I ordered. This happened in July last year. That's how I happened to get the merc last time. The new BMW 5 wasn't due for another 8 months plus back in mid 2016. The merc had just been released so I didn't want the end run for the 5. Cheers S
