I think he means to ask how many right hand drives were made....

My current research suggests that three of the 187 RHD/GB cars did not come to the UK - the chassis numbers are not recognised by BMW GB.
These were WBSDC920101679034, 079 and 150.
034 was built with a km/h speedometer and Press preparation. I suspect it may have been a "seed" car for the South African market, preceding the 96 cars built there from kits (?) or alternatively sent as a customer order to a territory such as Cyprus, though why it would then need Press preparation escapes me (it appears such cars were driven/run-in by the factory for about 1000 miles before release). However, the colour - Bronzitbeige metallic - sounds odd for a Press car.
This car also had option 780 - BMW LM-Rad/M Parallelspeiche (wheels - see other post).
The destination of the other two cars noted above is unknown.
Any information on these "missing" cars would be gratefully received.
