Some info...

BMW Motorsport introduced M 635 CSi in Europe at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1983. It is essentially an E24 powered by the powerplant of the BMW M1 - the M88 (286 PS (210 kW; 282 hp)). Most of the cars were equipped with special metric 415 mm diameter wheels requiring Michelin TRX tires. A catalyzed, lower compression ratio version of the car with the S38 engine (260 PS (190 kW; 260 hp)) was introduced in the U.S. in 1987. All M6 cars came standard with a 25% rear limited slip differential. U.S. models included additional comforts that were usually optional on models sold in Europe such as Nappa leather power seats and a dedicated rear A/C unit with a center beverage chiller. Car and Driver tested a U.S. M6 in July 1987 and achieved a 0-60 time of 6.1 seconds, better than the BMW published 6.4 and 6.8 second times for the European and U.S. versions respectively. 4,088 M 635CSi cars were built between 1983 and 1988 with 1,767 U.S. M6 built.[4]

I very much doubt that this is a real Motorsport e24 because:
1. The ///M badge is bigger than the 635CSi and it is supposed to be the same height which makes it a Moron badge.
2. Those are not the right wheels
3. Those chrome mirrors are from the std 635
4. If one could see the front spoiler it would also be a dead giveaway.

My source said that there were only 1 official import, but another(that worked at some BMW dealer) said that there were something like 50 unofficial imports.

There was an old episode of Top Gear shown the other night on 251 and Hammond had a white 635 CSi as part of their challenge - it looked better than the Jag that James May had and the Mitsubishi that Clarkson had.....
