I was speaking a while back with the owner of the Evoluzione Cyclesports who makes plate relocation brackets and other trick items for Euro sport bikes, Ken Zeller, and he quoted a similar low 400's number.
I don't know if vendors would have any access to BMW production data but maybe through his trade associations? Anyway, his production estimate was almost identical.
When I was shopping for mine, I never saw more than one on the floor at any dealer and I went to quite a few in NY, NJ, PA, CT, and NH.
