2004 530, 2217 units. 2005, 1592 units

It looks like you forgot to account for the xi and xiT. | I left them out on purpose because they did'nt exist in 04. I was making the point that model for model was down by large margins. 40% on the 525. 25% on the 530 and about 39% on the 545/550.

I think you MUST include them... in reality they are only options. Agreed? Corporately, a 5 series is a 5 series whether it's a wagon or a sedan and whether it has HUD, NAV, all wheel drive or not......

I was specifically shopping for the 5-series, and opted for the xi because it was available, but would have probably bought a non-xi anyway. If any of this makes sense...
