when i got my car years back i remember finding out after a few weeks that only 25 were made in neon green and 25 in neon blue. Is this true as i have no proof of it, or was the guy chatting B******s, ?

also how many late cabs were made, the 91-93 ones.

hoping Simon will know. :wink:

I'm pretty sure that's bollocks.

I saw 4 different neon blue ones on eBay during 2 weeks in late November before I bought my cab......very unlikely that nearly a fifth of the cars made in that colour would be on eBay in the same space of time I'm thinking....

I'm coming round to the colour - hated that colour when I was looking for my cab.

Looking forward to seeing some more pics :thumb:

It was the Lux that was last off the line and BMW offloaded the goodies onto them! It had leather, electric hood, front fogs and 15" bbs as standard!

i thought it was around the 500 mark total of both, but far more neon blue ones were built. nice colours either way!
