We could then use that percentage against the NA delivery numbers provided at the bmwconfig site (his data provides total 1-series deliveries to NA) and come up with an estimate for "is" deliveries. This number would not be perfect, but it would be as good as any I have read thus far! Thanks again for doing the work with this shipping data!

That might not be to painful of an exercise once I figure out the identifiers in the VIN for the 128 model. Right now I have compiled data on about 600 of the 1000 or so cars delivered to North America between July or August of 2012 and now. I have about 300 cars to go from the Baltimore and Halifax deliveries.. Looks like the New York deliveries run at about 30% of the 135i cars.
