    1993s are Ci models, but with the M70 engine. The M73 didn't start until 1994, and I believe there are some of both versions made that year. The "Ci" designation doesn't equate to the M73 engine until later years. 1993 was also (pretty sure) the last year for non-CSi 850 6-speeds, and there weren't many that year.

    '92 850i 6-speed (SOLD)
    I just listed my 1992 850i 6 speed with 37k original miles on Bring-A-Trailer. Not sure if you need a 1993, but they are the same car. It's black/black and has extensive documentation and service history. It spent the first 24 years in Southern CA with the original owner, so there is ZERO rust. I'm the second owner and all maintenance is current. Not sure when the auction will go live, but I approved the listing last night. The listing is very detailed with lots of photos and videos.
