Just curious. I would like to know this before I sell mine. How many do you suggest are still on the road?

calendar year v model year.

you guys invented the concept of model year. get your head around it, not hard.
model year = financial year for instance in australia.
july of one year to june of next year.
but you guys do a tax year jan to dec. right?

the different numbers you have come across are down to this simple measurement.
thats all.
no big mystery. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Ok makes sense, but one would have to assume they would have skipped large numbers between consecutive build numbers. For example;

Calling the VIN ranges for all -4s you get 139075 total unit numbers, production numbers total 115646, leaving 23429 unit numbers skipped.

Similar to 6s but much less at 3368 total VIN range units at 3333 production units, leaving 35 extra slots….

Just wrapping my head around it… thanks!
