In his book, Jeremy Walton says
'More than 50 Group A BMW 635s were assembled and released by BMW Motorsport, most to non-factory teams.'
At the back of the book he explains the numbering sequences. The first was the works prototype E24 AAA-01 which went to Cheylesmore BMW for Hans Stuck to drive in the BTCC. Then he lists E24 RA2-01, but that maybe a printing error since it is out of sequence (maybe it should read E24 RA1-01). Thereafter, he lists E24 RA1-02 to E24 RA1-25 as the 1983 produced cars and E24 RA2-26 to E24 RA2-49 for 1984. All the intervening nos. were allocated but there were 4 numbers where he was unable to identify the client, and they were RA1-24, RA2-27, RA2-32 & RA2-49.
