850 T5R has the smaller turbo more bottom end but slightly less top end than the 850R, the 850R has LSD and the swede/leather seats.

T-5R was a limited edition while the 850R was introduced as a normal production model after the T-5R's success. T-5R's only came in Yellow, Black & Olive green. Both came with leather & alcantra seats, T-5R's had the leather centre with alcantra sides & was reversed on the R. T-5R only came with 15g turbo while 850R manual had 16t (15g on the auto) & it was the R that had the M59 gearbox you mentioned. T-5R was 240bhp & was achieved by the ECU having a 30second overboost while the 850R was 250bhp
