'13 plate BMW 1-series... that's the old shape?

[sebhaque]

Quick question folks. While going for a stroll at lunchtime, I walked past a car park that had a 13-plate 1-series in it. The first thing that caught my eye was that it was the old shape, and it was definitely a 13 reg. I thought this was a bit unusual but didn't dwell on it - up until my drive home from work, where I saw a different 1-series, also old shape, also on a 13 plate. I was (and still am) very confused.

Am I missing something where BMW are re-releasing a previous model of their car(s)? I don't remember the bodystyle of the first one (wasn't a hatchback though) but the second one was a convertible. Anybody able to shed some light on what's befuddling a tired old sebhaque?
