Roughly from cars built from July 2013 on, so yours should be an EWG.

Basically if its a 2014 model its an EWG car on the 335/435

I have seen a couple exceptions to this but the above is a good general rule.. And as noted above JULY is the transition month into the new models. (year over year change)

Apparently EU/UK does not go by the same year designation as USA (for most purposes it’s based closer to Julian Calendar and actually on plate issuance in UK. As thus, important to see where poster is located when looking at this.

Also, BMW rolls out changes during the year as needed.

For example, NBT and EWG were installed in F3x (with one exception) in July 2013.

However, Climate Control IHKA3 was rolled in early 2014 calendar year.

As noted above, there are always exception to a hard date as well (in other words early July builds might have had either depending on Factory and Supply Inventory.

What factory was it built in and what is exact date of build out of curiosity?

You can visually look at the turbo and check it,s wastewater setup.

This vid shows pwg car

Even better pic for comparison hit the link below.
Top pic ewg bottom pic pwg.

EWG = Electronic wastegate setup
PWG= Pneumatic wastegate setup (the long piece you see connected which is vacuum operated.)
