Greg,
The best info I've seen to date (but two different numbers, from my PMB archives):

[From Paul Brown]
"According to Mr. William R. Rudolph, National Customer Relations Representative, E31 sales in the 1991 through 1997 models years totaled 6,484"

[From Bert Smith]
"In Bob Roemer's Roundel column a couple of issues ago, he stated that BMW had built 36,600 8 Series coupes, and that 23,000 were equipped with the V12. Recently, I e-mailed BMWCCA to have them add
my E-mail to my registry information. I also
included a question to Bob Roemer, asking how many E31s were sold in the U.S. The numbers he replied with are: 6,108 total sales, 4,272 V-12s, and 1,836 V-8s."

So we may have around 400 6 speeds in the U.S.

Stan C.
