Forget about MY, we're talking about actual years.
Wrong.
According to that logic, the 1 Series M Coupe in North America never existed then
2011-2011 = 0 years

In the US, we use model years. I do realize you're from the UK so that might be the difference? IDK

But regardless, people often forget to include all the years & only account for the difference.
For example, we all know that a century is a period of 100 years.
Naturally, then, most people would think the 19th century = 1800 AD-1900 AD. But that is incorrect, because even though 1900 minus 1800 is 100, the actual time span from 1800-1900 would amount to 101 years.
Therefore, the 19th century is actually the period between 1801-1900.

I would use the same logic with model years as well.
The 1M had a 1 year run (2011) vs a zero (2011-2011= 0) year run...lol
