Evo 2 - numbers of different colours

[Cabriolet]

cool, thanks for the info.

Not an Evo 2 and wouldn't originally have had an Evo 2 engine either. It's USA spec. An Evo 2 engine block will have "234S1" stamped on it.

[Cabriolet]

my VIN is AE34053, is this a true evo2 car or just evo2 engine?

2191840 diamant schwartz?

Actually, looking at all the other non evo2 chassis numbers, they also quote 162kW, so I think this chassis is just not in fact an Evo2

SONDERLACKIERUNG (490)
exciting

very strange. 162KW is 220ps, but it doesn't have

S790	M3 EVOLUTION
S792	KLEINES MOTORSPORT-PAKET

the "Evo 2" options

National version France
Where is that car?!

2191840 diamant schwartz?

Well, if someone goes through this properly it'd be possible to make a full database - how many of each colour, how many exported and to where, how many have manual windows, aircon, climate, edc, Recaro high backs (at least one, I'm told), heated seats, etc

I'd like to know how many of these are without sunroof?

Chaps,

As far as I know this hasn't been done, but I think it would be quite interesting to know the numbers of Evo2s built in each colour.

This is easily do-able. Here's the range of chassis numbers picked for Evo 2 production:

(NB they are not in Evo 2 number/501 order...)

And here is a VIN options decoder which gives the colour (others are available):

So, just needs to be done 500 times. I'll do this one quiet winter night but I'm a bit hectic at the moment as I'm refurbishing a flat around a full time job. Anyone got a spare few hours on their hands?

PS I wager Nogaro silver is the rarest, just based on the proportions I've seen.
