While BMW does not break down 5-series sales any more, they were only selling about 350-500 550s a month (back when they were reporting) - I'm betting that amount is now down to 300ish. I personally have seen only a handful since they came out in 2006. Of course many people mistake the 530 for the 550 (the badges look the exact same from a difference). So...for those of you who claim they are a dime a dozen.... I'm calling bull s....

However IS-F, M3 and M5 have plenty of styling enhancements that make them easy to tell apart from their more common siblings.

A dollar a bucket? In that case, there should be more of these cars on the road since they are so obtainable to the average Joe Schmoe with a 30k per year job. Why settle for less car or a used old car if new 5 series Bimmers are going for a dollar a bucket. What are the lease rates on these cars? Any sources? ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

That being said, Lexus "F" or BMW's "M" cars are much more rare and exclusive.

i was thinking the same ****
anyway, i think i might choose an 550 but im an GS/M45 type of guy, but then again the IS-F is hot so ill will try cross shopping M3s and AMG Cs, but thats me
also research/drive 4 cars that in the SAME category then choose
