They produced wagons in 1992

Ok forget that first quote, here's another:

Still wrong.

Well I just called corporate and they "don't have access to that information". On the 92, 93 notice how the quote says calender year, not model year.. Nando, I'm curious as to how you know those numbers are wrong. I believe you, because I see way too many on craigslist and at the junkyard for there to only be 2500. But I still wonder what the exact number is.

Wiki says in total (all e30's) 2,339,520 were produced. Do you guys really think only a few thousand were ix's? Doubtful.

because I have the database file, and the total quantity matches the official BMW production booklet I have. you can look up cars by serial # ranges and find the production date, or vice versa.

it's the same system that allows you to enter your serial number into the BMW parts catalogue.

it's all posted in another thread.. I knew for years the other numbers weren't accurate, they just don't make any sense. I saw one where they only made 84 '88 cars or something like that. or the 4 1991 model year cars for example.

when you compare the production numbers with classic mustangs(even shelbys) i think it is still counts as rare car

other than in Colorado i have never seen another ix on the road, i think that guy on bimmerfourms was just butt hurt about the recent(last 4 years) jump in price

it was in the xi section. but actually, that piqued my memory. the other number didn't include anything from Japan. There were a lot of Japanese ix's. I know a couple guys in Canada who imported some.
