In the E31 world we have an E31 Registry. It's an attempt to find all E31s out there. Even the salvaged ones. I was part of the search for E31s for sale on the web (Ebay, Autotrader, etc). I think that I contributed data on about 200 cars to the list This has been going on for quite awhile.
The E31 webpage has a database that identifies the year, model (840, 850, CSI, etc.), transmission, location, owner, pictures, and any other data that helps with the knowledge of these cars. This webpage is available only to those that are owners of these cars. As a result of this work and the enthusiasm of the owners there is now a stand alone BMW E31 chapter within the BMW CCA.
Has anything like this registry been started for these cars? Are there production numbers by year somewhere? There seems to be a lot of salvaging going on with these cars which would make those that are left even more rare depending upon how many were initially produced.
The VIN Decoder thread here is a great beginning to a registry.
