E34 535iM production numbers

I have heard many different answers to the old question, How many 535i came with 5 speed manual. Many call these cars "535 Sport", regardless, does anyone have actual verified information on this?

The most common answer I have heard over the last 5 years that I have owned my E34's, is that only 5% of all E34's were 535's and only 5% of those were 5 speed manual.

Insgesamt wurden in Deutschland exakt 1.166.312 E34 Limousinen und 124.656 E34 Touring gebaut. In den ausländischen BMW-Werken wurden zudem noch 42.470 E34 Limousinen aus Teilesätzen gefertigt. Insgesamt liefen demnach 1.333.438 E34 vom Band, darunter 11.984 M5.
