Credible sources, eBay...is somewhat good. But not what I would consider if I were to buy a car. 
It is over priced, unless the Dinan mods make it that much to you.
Kelly Blue Book is where the credibility comes to play. 
Excellent: $28,420
Good: $26,810
Fair: $24,700
Annd, KBB says that the

For that price, you could buy our used 2002 M5 with 39,965 miles.
Please, tell me I'm not wrong.

By "Book" values the price for a private sale the price is about right. (Edit: I see from the posts above that they have dumped the price again)
If you can find a dealer selling one for less than $55k it would scare a lot of owners.
Unfortunately the Book prices seem to be manipulated frequently.
Right after I bought my 840 the book prices cut values of 850 and 850 CSI cars nearly in half. But wonder of wonders the book value of the lowly 840 never changed.
I guess that someone wanted a cheap CSI because they went most of the way back up 3 months or so later. I did see one 850CSI change hands in LA for $25,000 during that period.

I cheated, but it answered your ? 
Quote:
In 1993 the 850Ci replaced the 850i.
There were also two new models available: the 840Ci and the 850CSi.
The 840Ci had an eight cylinder engine with 286 HP.
The 850 CSi had a twelve cylinder that had 380 HP.
The 850CSi had a special M package wich included M style wheels and mirrors.
In 1994 the 850Ci received more power. It now had 326 HP.
In 1996 the 840 Ci received a new engine but there were no changes in power or top speed.
The 850CSi went out of production in 1997.

80 HP from a bigger engine
Different trim inside and out
CSI was built by M in the M plant
Several thousand 850s but only 225 CSI in the US-About the same proportions in world wide production.

The 850 CSI in the US was imported only for '94 and '95
'96 started OBD2 emissions in the US and the CSI was never converted.
Unfortunately the US CSI had the square Dumbo mirrors just the same as the standard models and a lesser braking system than the Euro version. Also no rear steer (AHK) or differential oil cooler either.
