 1986 Biturbo S for 2-tone and black wheels??

 According to Italian and English wiki, the S 2.0 (late 1983-85) was only for Italian and French market (1038 examples), for export there were S 2.5 (1984-87) and ES 2.5 (1984-86, 1480 examples). The S 2.0 was replaced by the S II (Italy only, 1985-86) and Si (Italy only, 1986-87, 992 examples).
I believe E-badged cars were US specs ones (since 1985MY)?
So this one should be a 1984+ S with 2.5 engine for export. Also, all 1982-87 Biturbo coupé are [AM331].

 Same thing I've recently read in a book about Maserati. Seems that at some time Italy overtaxed cars with more than 2 litre displacement, this explains why also Mercedes and other manufacturers produced specific low-displacement versions of some models for Italy (for example, the early 200 Kompressor models)

 Yes, of course, this is a well-known fact :) usually Portugal and Greece got those versions too.
But, it's not an easy task cleaning Biturbos :D as I understand, it was exported since 1983. English wiki says all export versions were E and this seem to work for most versions but then in the table there is the S 2.5 also for European export :think:

no mention of a 2.5 S here^ or on the Italian Biturbo page https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maserati_Biturbo so maybe a mistake :think:

 Yes, I saw the official page, indeed I was basing on that too, even if dates don't take into account MYs it seems :think: anyway I thought that being an export version, the mistake it was in Italian wiki, but if the official site doesn't mention it.. :whistle:
So this one should be a 1984+ ES 2.5 :think:
