Doesn't BMW update models roughly on the same schedule every year?

Yes, the manufacturing gets reset with very minor updates, but nothing too major.

It's tough because if you are custom ordering a car mid-year there's a question as to whether to wait for a production allocation in the new model year or not.

No, there is no "schedule every year": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_5_Series

There is a difference between the platform update, and model year updates.
