Worldwide sales of all E31 8 Series BMWs was 30,621.

There were 1510 of the BMW 850CSi were produced worldwide and 250 were officially imported to the united states. The non-US spec 850CSi were call M850CSi.

By the way, the ONLY two vehicles that were actually produced by BMW M GmbH
(BMWMotorsport)Garsching,Germany were the M5's(up to the E34's)AND 850CSi's. None of the M3's and the current M5's(E39) have been assembled at Motorsport---they are/were assembled in the same factory as the rest of the "regular" cars at Dingolfing, Germany

The six speed 850i was only in 5% of the production cars from 1991-1993 (only 2-3 in 1993 had six speeds). After that all the 850i, 850Ci, 840Ci has automatics. The 850CSi produced from 1994 to 1995 came standard with the Getrag Six speed only.

Hope this helps!
