ix Production data

[Red_liner740]

Yea its Daves old car. Thanks for those numbers.

I assume you got davericher20's ex car since you are in Toronto and not many green ix Tourings are out here. It is an Individual color, Malachite Green. There are at least 49 of them. Unfortunately for older BMWs Individual data is missing for quite a lot of cars. In case of the manual 325ix touring, there are 79 Indiviudal painted cars with missing Individual data.

Production numbers on Green 325iX Touring manuals? puhlease ?

I think it would be really cool if you would make a breakdown for every model: coupe manual, coupe auto, sedan manual, sedan auto and break it down by year. I guess that would be 16 total charts. This would really paint a vivid picture.

That would be too time consuming. Yes, it would be 16 charts, but since I pull the numbers manually for each configuration it is 80-120 requests per chart.

Look again. I have Japanese cars in my total, which were all 4 doors. The totals for the 3 regions add up to the same as the 3 different body styles. :)

You are misinterpreting the data. For E30s, there was no Japan specific type code. ECE and Japanese type codes are the same. So what you did is that you counted the same VINs twice for two models. To get Japanese market cars, you got to get build sheets for all cars of that specific type code and look for the option code L807A - NATIONAL VERSION JAPAN.

Some older BMWs actually had a Japanese specific type code. For example, M6 and M635CSi are:

5511 - ECE model
5514 - US-spec (includes Canada)
5519 - Japan spec

BTW how do you get the color/interior codes from the serial numbers?

I got build sheets for each serial number

yeah, I realize it's not completely accurate. it can be used to estimate, though.

Touring and 2 door total production number is correct, however your 4 door calculation is wrong. You counted models 1591 and 1501 twice. The correct number of 4 door 325ix is 17,032

I have all of it.. someday I'll put it in an easy to use format.

you can sort of guess by the model year using a typical September switchover, but that's not always accurate.

What you got is a dump from the ETK catalog database. It is pretty accurate for total production numbers, but not 100% accurate. Also, MY switch over does not happen on September all the time. It different from model to model and only applies to the US and Canadian markets. For example, 325ix coupe MY switch over happened in September, except for MY91 where it started in June 1990. Sedans, on the other hand, had switch over in July, except for MY91 where, just like coupe, it happened in June.

Have any information on euro cars?

What model and what kind of information? For euro ix I got details production data for the manual Touring only. As for model year breakdown, it would be impossible to do one for euro cars since model year is not used in the VIN.

yeah, I saw this a while ago on my phone and forgot about it. maybe we can finally put an end to "they only made 500 of them!" numbers that have been posted for so long.

Looks like these numbers match this other thread. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...=282471&page=2

1/53 is not bad on my 91

Have any information on euro cars?
