Although trunk money may have been offered. It was not a mass produced vehicle. Yes we know the US received a "watered down" version of the E36 as a consolation. But, at least the E36 featured a light weight version, that guaranteed exclusivity. Most of the "special" E92's on this side of the pond only feature paint and accessory add on's.
