It's amazing how well sales of the E60 have held up as the model run comes to a close. BMW sold 3,914 5 series in December, up 6% from the same month last year. But the Mercedes E-Class outsold the 5er with 4,567 units (up 32% over last year).
Here is the annual sales totals for the E60 (calendar year counts, not model year):
2003 11,535 (U.S. sales of the E60 started in September 2003)
2004 45,584
2005 52,722
2006 56,765
2007 54,142
2008 45,916
2009 40,109
So while the final full calendar year sales of the E60 are the slowest of the model run (and this is during the Great Recession), even that figure is nearly as good as the best year of the E39.
Here is the annual sales totals for the E39:
1996 22,775 (E39 sales started in the U.S. in April and this figure is annual 5 series sales - I don't have details by model)
1997 31,347
1998 35,100
1999 38,218
2000 39,703
2001 40,005
2002 40,842
2003 35,429

Toyota Camry 340,511
Chevy Silverado Pickup 316,544
Honda Accord 287,492

Since we're so few, why don't we start flashing our lights to each other like the Porsche folks do?

I wonder how many of BMW's new car sales are actually leases?
I can't believe the F-150 and Silverado are still in the top 5 despite the higher gas prices and recession.

I highly doubt that fleet sales are the reason for the F150 and Silverado sales numbers.

You mean, there are only about 300,000 E60s in the US? Boy, do I feel exclusive or what?? Since we're so few, why don't we start flashing our lights to each other like the Porsche folks do?
