With nearly 400 entries to the B5 S4 surviving numbers database I thought I’d point out how the data can be sorted and parsed.

By use of the SEARCH box to the upper right of the table the data can be filtered to return a subset of the total entries.

For example, I would like to know how many 2001 model year Avants were submitted that were equipped with a 6MT transmission, Brilliant Black exterior, and are still roadworthy.  To find out I enter the following text into the search box:

As more search terms are entered into the search box the results are pared down further.

This returns the following results:

Of the nearly 400 entries there are 8 that match these criteria.

I could have omitted the exterior color, and the results would have been for all 2001 Avants with a 6MT that are roadworthy, regardless of exterior color.

This search result does not do much to tell me how many vehicles of this particular type are still on the road, but we can guess.  If there are 10-20 times as many vehicles on the road as participated in the survey thus far, that would put total numbers between 4000-8000 B5 S4’s still on the road.  Based on my search results, cars meeting my criteria would number 80 (8 x 10) to 160 (8 x 20).  This of course is a WAG, but interesting to ponder nonetheless.

Here’s the table:
