Is there any way to find the production numbers by color? I have been looking extensively for another glacier green touring for about 2 months and have only seen one other than mine. I would also like to know the most unusual color for a touring that is not an individual color.
Check the "how unique was your touring " thread.
But 23 glacier green.
Depends on looking for a 540iT or a 525 too...less green 540iTs than there are 525s...

540iT in Red rarest color, none made in 2003 and less than 8 from 1998 - 2002...
Green second rarest color haven't confirmed total for all years...but much more difficult to find and est less than 50 cars total...and think that is a high figure...

SCRSUVS, that list you showed us the msport list. There is a whole other group of non sport 540 wagons in 03. Color unknown.
Doabarrelroll did a fantastic job of breaking down the 528 manuals in the first list.
Somehow he felt pity on us and did the 540 breakdown. There's twice as many 525's to tabulate so the numbers are probably in line % wise with 540 production, allowing for the color trend shift in later years.
Maybe we should beg or make a donation.
JP5, I would guess red 525 would be double the 540 number as there's approximately twice as many.
I've seen several locally. It's a shock when you do, that's a lot of RED!
Green! I like Oxford Green ll !!! Not too many of those too, but more than the Jap Rot 39’s

Here is one of the links to the colors of the E 39 wagon...rarest color... #1 Japonrot Red "all" years 1998 - 2003 all cars, 540iT, 528iT & 525iT, because I wanted that specific red color I did extensive research and have confirmed less than 10 made total..."green and blue" cars are close to that in low production #s for all years...because of the total made 13,700ish doing an est after knowing producton#s im 99% certain red, blue, and green cars total inc 525, 528, and 540s is less than 500 total made and honestly think that is high because its been very difficult to confirm
the numbers and colors of real 540iT M-Sports

I really appreciate BMW'S in a color after having sooo many silver ones.
Is it possible to find production numbers for the 525iT? I would like to know how many other Bluewater Metallic wagons there are out there, it seems to be a very rare color

my family friend just got their own 525iT (anthracite over black) and is wondering whether if restoring/refurbishment is worth it or is it better off in the junk yard (150k miles). If doabarrelroll (he has done previous lists on model numbers and their options) has that list that would be awesome
Tell your friend it’s toast, bring it to me, I’ll junk it for you guys..... 150,000 miles, dude, it’s just breaking in man! I have a 2003 Titan Silver 525iT with 372,000 miles, damn thing is properly maintained, in great shape, I’d hop in it tomorrow and drive out to California if I had too. Preserve these cars!!!

I have an Anthracite in manual 528, the trans option alone bring that number from 106 down to 1 of 27 in 5 speed. Was originally being interior, but have since swapped to all black/M5 bits
Alright Titanium Silver wins again! The most of the most. Thanks to all those ads during the original selling days showing Silver as the brochure model.
A quick comparison between X5 sales and wagon units in the US shows the real sad story. US customers wanted SUVs not wagons.
