Sorry, Philippe, Igor WAS RIGHT. There is ONE CSi in that picture of 10 850's in the double Vs (not a single 840, though). I ought to know, as I was there when that picture was taken (in an upper parking lot of Golden Gardens Park in Seattle in September of this year) and the ONE CSi is mine.

So for Extra Credit, Igor and Philippe, which of the 10 850's in the double V picture is a REAL CSi????

PS: Philippe, the only things that were left off the US CSi that I am aware of were the M side mirrors (on at least some of the US cars), the headlight washers and the rear steering. Trust me, with better tires than factory and the Dinan chips, my CSi goes like crazy and won my heart over my now departed '00 M5. The CSi was not one of those BMW's where the US version was a second class citizen.
