It still does not excuse BMW from selling fewer 5s than the Eclass, lol. The E class handling dynamics leave a lot to be desired. Maybe the E550 is better but the E350 I drove reminded me of a Lexus ES350!!!!

6 series sales ytd - 7,034
5 series sales ytd - 38,681


A total of 45,715


You have to take into account though that a 6 series coupe starts at $75,400 as opposed to the e-class coupe which starts at $52,200

Those numbers tell me that the E-Class coupe outsells the 6 series, but that the 5 series outsells the E-Class.
You should have provided this information a while back. It shades a lot more color on why the 5 & 6 are possibly not combined, the difference in the starting price is almost 15k (ignoring engine size). We were looking for some plausible theory that would explain why the two were split.
