I always heard that E28 M5 production figures were 1200 for NA. BMW was
sued because they went over the original figure of 500. I've never heard
a figure as low as 800, but this is coming straight from BMW NA through
the MDriver publication. I was also surprised to see their figures for the 
E30 M3 @ 3,666. I've always read that there were 4,966 in NA. Interesting.
