[For part II see ibid. 49, No. 1-2, 122-152 (1995; Zbl 0839.39008).] The following is offered as main result. Functional equations of the form \(f(x + y) f(x - y) = P[f(x), f(y)]\), where \(P\) is a polynomial of degree less than 6, have solutions \(f\) over the reals which assume at least 86 distinct complex values and which are nonzero at 0 if, and only if, \(P\) is of one of three explicitly given forms, two quadratic, one biquadratic. The proof is lengthy and technical. However, a MATHEMATICA program is offered for verification, which may work also for polynomials of higher (but not too high) degrees.
