I doubt anyone would get the info from them but if you are curious, you could try. BMW won’t provide it given there have been lawsuits, but maybe that info will come out in a lawsuit.
I think its less than that. MRF posted they have changed about 400 recently. I figure about a 1000 have been changed of 66k.
