: : A local dealer has a 1993 850Ci Vin# WBAEG1326PCB42768 for sale. It has a Rear //M badge, //M Shift Knob and //M Engine Cover saying M-Powered.
: : I know that ~160 540i's had an M option, don't believe that the E31 ever did, except for the CSI and even that didn't have a rear //M badge. Is this another case of an //M badge wanna be?

: Yep. It's real simple...a Motorsport BMW (whether badged ///M or not) will have a VIN that begins with WBS (like the 850CSi).

I just purchsed a '93 850ci but it also has an 'M Powered' V12 under the hood. There is no M badge on the rear or an M stick and it has an autobox - no csi's have an autobox. The VIN is WBAG2329PCB74961 -- so it is techncally not a csi. But I was also wondering about the M engine. Any help out there?
