It plays into the depreciation factor. As soon as a new model year hits, the previous model year cars take a hit in depreciation, devaluing their cars more if the model year cycle gets truncated.
Yes, a car is a depreciating asset, but shorter model year cycles mean the cars devalue faster, which in turn, will start affecting residuals for lease/BMW select programs, and will affect car values overall.
