I would just get it now the difference to residuals will be slim your certainly not at a disadvantage if you receive a car on the last day of the 0's the person who has got a car from the first few days of the 5's has no advantage over you at all.
Not sure how many dealers simply use the plate anymore because you can stick some privates on instead with whatever registration mark you like so you could have an 03 car marked up as an 06 for example and if the dealer where to accept that they would have a problem.
Will probably get your delivery date from MB and use that instead
