I have a number of parts that have a manufacture sticker on them with the part numbers and manufacture dates of March of 04. The various parts are all original pieces but I'm confused with the 04 stickers and the car titled as an 05. Everything that I've found so far is March 04 and some have German typing on the stickers. Has anyone else found this on their cars? Opinions are welcomed.

Many of the cars were made the year before the model year date. Mine is an ‘05 made in October ‘04, so I would not expect to see parts on it made in ‘05.
My POS ‘07 300 was made in ‘06. You can go to car shows now showing ‘19 as the model year and they were made possibly last year not last week.
It has always been that way,
These cars were made in Germany so Germantyping would be not unusual would it?
