My Ride: '06 550i, Anthracite, sport package, HUD and more.

Anyone know of a source, or better yet, know how many 550's are out there for any given year? What is the ratio of 550's produced vs. V6 cars?

Thanks.

Of course that doesn't include any of the 550's built and delivered in FY2005.

Happy to confirm that absolutely no V6 BMW's have been produced in recent years. In fact, thinking back, I can't think of a single one ever!

Yeah, on second look, it appears when they talk YTD 06 they are meaning model year 06 not calendar year 06 sales.

I do believe they can make the figures do anything they want when the model year doesn't coincide with the calendar year.

I WANT AN AUDIT!!! just kidding.

So it would be an even 4700 had I not bought my 550 back in June.
