I guess I'll put my 840 in here. It's not the rarest thing on 4 wheels - i'm not like trying to win the thread or anything, but it's not exactly a Camry either.

Numbers!

Worldwide production of BMW 8 Series - 830Ci (yes, they made a few! 18 to be exact, all prototypes), 840Ci, 850i/Ci, 850CSi = 30,621 (7,232 for North America)
Worldwide production of 840Ci (M60 and M62) = 7,803 (2,450 for North America)
Worldwide production of 840Ci (M60 only) = 4,728 (1,649 for North America)

Of all of the 8s that were sold in NA, a total of 403 were painted with paint code 244 - Sterlingsilber Metallic. 49 of those were 840s. Mine is one of these. Out of all 8 series produced worldwide, there were a total of 153 made with my paint / interior combo.

It's also a very early build - production of the 840Ci started in 09/93. Mine was built in 10/93. I don't know what production number it was (although it's something I've always been curious about), but I just put in a request for a build sheet report that I'm hoping will tell me.

Source: The owners / enthusiasts at 8coupe.com have put an incredible registry together about these. There's a seriously :psypop::hf::spergin: amount of information on there.
