My club sport was made in 10/1995, which by US standards would technically make it a 96. Car and Driver stated they released it just before the close of the year. The title on my car still says 1995, I imagine BMW goes by a fiscal year that starts Jan 1st. Anyway, when were your club sports made? I think think most were made late in the year.

For the CS, CandD lists the performance as:
$25,850
138hp@6000
129lb-ft@4500
2840 lb
0-60: 8.5 sec
0-100: 28.2 sec
1/4: 16.5@82
116 MPH (govener limited)
braking 70-0: 166 ft
300 ft skid: 0.85 g
observed mpg: 25

Not bad. They loved the car. They said that there are many faster cars, but this one makes you feel like a pro at more sensible speeds. They loved how it drove, and said it was definitely worth the $3000 premium. What impresses me is that braking, 166 ft from 70 is fast for any car.
