I can't speak to the specifics of the E53, but I can tell you that BMW has a history of running extended model years. The 1995 M3 in the US ran from March 1994 (roughly - don't shoot me if I'm off by a month) to December 1995, for example. My 1995 M3 was produced in 10/95.
The 2011 model year was another weird one. BMW ran the MY2011 E90 M3 from 3/10 to 10/11.
Net-net, BMW will periodically run a model year long if they have a reason to.
And it's not just BMW that does weird things with model years. My wife's MY96 993TT was produced in 3/95.
