Of the 3,910 3.8-liter E34 M5s produced, how many were the later six-speed manual version?
BMW M GmbH produced 752 examples of the later E34 M5 3.8 six-speed, divided among the following configurations:
ECE 3.8 sedan six-speed (LHD): 404 produced
ECE 3.8 Touring six-speed (LHD): 209 produced
ECE 3.8 sedan six-speed (RHD): 139 produced

The final evolution of the E34 M5 entered production in May of 1994 and included the following upgrades:
-Getrag Type D six-speed manual gearbox
-Enlarged brake rotors with two-piece "floating" front calipers
-Thicker rear anti-roll bars (19mm on sedans, 20mm on Tourings) from the discontinued Nürburgring Package
-EDC mode switch from the discontinued Nürburgring Package
-Staggered 18-inch M Parallel Spoke wheels with 245/45ZR18 tires
-Widened front "kidney" grilles with revised hood to match

1995 BMW M5 E34, Nürburgring Edition (aka. "Nürburgring KDC pack") 6-speed manual gearbox, 354hp, adjustable suspension, 420Nm of torque. 2300 were made, 10 of them located here in Finland. Compare that to a 2002 MB C32 AMG: Supercharged V6, 354hp 450Nm.
Rarity value pretty much same (maybe more?) as the 540i, but in the end, as I said, real hand built M-cars were always ahead of the other powerfull BMW cars (even the plain M-sports), because those engineers knew what they were doing.

@FrozenBlaze In the end, the M5 sacrificed a lot of power band through low revs to earn 60more BHP that make nearly no diference. You can skip that difference by simple drag in a race. Both of these cars are lovely and must be taken care of. More the 540i 6speed manual, because it is rarer than the M5 and even more to find a good one with someone that would let if off
It would be nice if Gustav wrote wich car is the camera in. Especially when almost identical cars race.
