Mikael,
Correct as usual, but....
If you look down a few posts (What fun, poor Porsche), you'll see that Mike T. apparently has a '91 850i, which was sold by the dealer as a Ci in 1994. Trunk badge aside, Mike indicates that his factory door jam label reads 850CiA, yet the car is obviously an "i" (M70B50 motor, early build date).

I don't know what to make of this. Did the factory "cheat"? Are there folks out there with "mis-labeled" 8's? Hmmmmm.....

Also (for Wood), -40 indicates V8, -50 indicates V12 on the 8's.

Stan C.
'92 850iA
