Is this a 2018 M4?

Trying to figure out how a M4 with a 3.23.2017 production date is listed as a 2018 M4? I'll be the first to admit I haven't kept up with the F82 intricacies as opposed to the F80/F30.

Thought at 7.01 was usually the MY change date in USA

Some vehicle's model year begins production as early as March of the prior year.

For instance, the M2C below is a 2020 MY but built 03/2019.

This seems to explain why this didn't follow the 7.01 change over date. Apparently had to do with the change over to LCI production.

It gets even more confusing for the M2, where some Pre-LCI 2017 MY built after 03/2017 had LCI features, such as Adaptive LEDs for free, even though it wasn't sanctioned for the Pre-LCI vehicles.

Then with the 2015 F22/F23 2-Series built after 03/2015 had the new iDrive 4 EVO and interior trim, which was only suppose to be on the 2016 MY and above..

It seems like March/___ is a soft Model Year changeover, for certain periods.
