The price reference is the median of configuration medians, not the median of all active cars. Each configuration has equal weight. Configurations with at least 3 priced listings are used when available; otherwise the reference uses the configurations with a recorded price. Model years, mileage and condition vary. Open a model-year report below for its asking prices across all engines.
Which 550i years got a 4.4L 8-cyl engine
Every model year this engine was fitted to, newest first. The bar is how much of the family's VIN volume sits in that year — long bars are the years this engine was everywhere.
VIN counts come from our decode of the model's build patterns, not from live listings. A year link opens the full 550i report for that year — every engine of the model, not just this one.

The 4.4L 8-cyl 550i: common questions
Which 550i years have the 4.4L 8-cyl?
2010–2017, without a break — 8 model years in our VIN decode, across 25 factory configurations and 12,124 VINs.
What does a 4.4L 8-cyl 550i cost?
$11,990 is a configuration price reference: the median of configuration medians, with each priced configuration weighted equally. It is not a listing-level median or a valuation of an individual car. The year-by-year ladder shows VIN and inventory counts; its links open model-year price reports covering all engines.
