Boy, they are cranking out those M5s - 696 in November and almost 30% more than the 550i deliveries. I would suppose that should level off to some lower number after the initial surge to take care of teh long waiting lists.

BMW only had only one mould for the V10 engine block.
Last summer thay got a second one, so now they can produce twice as many engines
for the M5 and M6.
And seemingly enough also for tuning factories as Hamann.

I want to buy a 530i or xi in the suburban DC area. Which car are dealers willing to give the best deal on (530i or xi) and which dealership can give the lowest prices. Car will probably be serviced out of the area.

Yup, I asked my salesperson today about how his allocations for 550's are............he said basically none at this time.
No problem getting M5's though.
