F13 Production Numbers?

[Macky89]

Hello, everyone. I've scoured the internet and can't seem to find any specific production numbers for the F chassis 6 series. Wikipedia has numbers for total production, but I'm looking specifically for manual transmission numbers. There is only one 650i with MT currently for sale on Auto Trader, which leads me to believe it's rare, but I want to know how rare. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yes they're rare. They dropped the stick when they updated the engine, so you will not find a 650i in a 2013 or newer car. If you want a stick you may want to doublethink going with an M6 which has had fewer issues.

Wow I bet that looks fantastic. I spent an obscene amount of time looking for a mt with an interior in black or some shade of dark brown/ dark red with interesting paint. Gave up and did the silver and black thing.

Wow that's insane! What a great spec. So sad that fewer and fewer people appreciate the joy of mastering a manual transmission, and the connection it gives you to the car.

It is awesome. No one believes it a stick until I open the door and show them. Great color combo. I blacked out the roof and put a carbon fiber grille and spoiler. Also has triple gloss black 343m wheels from the M5 so it is truly unique.

That's for the M6, not the 650.

It would be nice if they had data like this for the non M 6 series. On the M3 forum they have all the production numbers for auto, manual, etc. Where do you find such info and why is it scarce for the 6 series? I would think the manufacturer would make it available to the public.

...so sad...no pics.

A signature pic of your stick would be awesome (and by stick I do mean your gear shift....I recognize this ain't Tender)!

I was just about to reply with a funny response but you covered yourself before I could! That is a brilliant idea and I will update my profile pic with a picture of the manual transmission from the 650.

It is. Don't want to get rid of it as there is literally nothing new on the planet that can replace it.

There was a white 2012 coupe around here for sale with black interior, manual transmission

I think there is going to be a shift at some point here where people will look to older low mileage cars rather than newer ones. To speak to the original question, it would be very interesting to see how many cars are left. Looks like the 2018 A5 is the closest. Off the handful of cars maybe left on different make's lots almost all of them will be gone soon and will not be replaced. The 911 is the only real option, and even that is almost extinct.

That's why I gave up and got the N63TU 2014 with the slushbox.

My next car will probably be a crapcan marshmallow crossover, but if I do that to myself I will get another Porsche 914 or a 911.

No, that was mine that was only for sale if I found the exact M6 I wanted. Didn't find it so it's not for sale. Interior is Cinnamon/Black, not Black.

Got it. I thought you meant on the forums.
