Hey Terminator...

My VIN for my 2006 bmw x5 4.8is ends in "85015" -- if your saying the last model was 85019 - so what? my car was 4 cars away from being the final 4.8is ever made?? ?

LAST PRODUCTION VIN # 5UXFA93556LE85019 (ending in #19)

When I bought my car the dealer said It was one of the last few ever made... so was he really right?? Im ending at #015 -- and last prod is #019 ??

News to me.. thanks to this board & Terminator.. :-) to tell you the truth I never payed much attention to production date - but I always though it was around end of year of 2005 - never know the car was made at end of 2006... usually next year models are made the end of prior year.. (usually)..

Good news ... I guess?? right?? ... Its fully loaded like every option possible and its been aging quite nicley i have to say.. almost looks like a new car.. plus i updated the navi software to birds eye view (3d) it looks better then 2007-2008 model.. thanks again for this helpful info

Enjoy it man - our E53's have aged very well - mine is going on 14 years old and I've owned it for 5 and still having fun driving each day

Yup!! Im about the same here ! Bought the car when it had 32k miles on it, back in 2011 - just passed the 5 year anniversary like 2 weeks ago lol.. Now it has around 85k - but its still doing good! The trans also doing great! I rather drive it then any other car in company or family. I drove a tahoe I hated it!! Omg it sucked a whole tank of gas every few day, barley moved on highway around 50-60mph you can floor it and like nothing... and my feet got tired after long day bc you gotta littley stab the pedals press them hard!! When I got back into my x5 I knew exactly why i love it !! its like a butterfly's cocoon! I hit those seats man! I can pass out and sleep in the demm car.. plus the air suspesion you can def feel the difference... at rough roads its not the best, but on good roads, man its as smooth as silk.. :-) and the exhust sound.. 4wd.. huge sunroof.. fat tries? I can keep on going.. thats why i still have my 4.8is and plan to keep it for a whiles till... its just pure automotive joy... sometimes its a hate and love relationship... but its def more love then hate.. :-)

Glad i could help - life has been busy recently, no chance to do anything with cars...
my wife got a 2014 335i, sis-in-law went black friday shopping, and needed to take the bags back to upstate NY, so she went and got 2016 X6 5.0i...

life is never dull around here...

I'd never seen this thread before. Glad someone brought it back. Terminator, would the database be able to show how many colors of a particular model were made? I'm really curious as to how many Estoril Blues were produced.

[TerminatorX5]

I can't sort db, or pull the whole thing at once... back at the time, i remember black was the most common color showing... don't remember the others...

Awesome thread. I just stumbled across it.
I'm trying to see how many 4.8iS were made. Either worldwide or for the US.
Is there a final production number posted somewhere?
