BMW E24 6-Series

Model Introduction

The BMW E24, launched in 1976, was the brand’s first 6 Series and combined grand touring elegance with serious performance. Styled by Paul Bracq, it shared its underpinnings with the E12 and later E28, and came to life in the iconic M635CSi with its M1-derived engine.
