6 Series (E24) BMW 6 Series (E24)


The BMW E24 is the first generation of 6 Series and was produced from 1976 to 1989. It replaced the E9 coupés and was solely produced in the 2-door coupé body style. Aside from the M635CSi/M6 models, the E24 was powered by a range of M30 straight-6 engines.
Here's an oddity that crops up from time to time, I think this is the third time I've seen it for sale, the BMW Observer Coupe.. it's a 635CSi with a panoramic roof that could slide all the way back into the boot!...

Wow that car is in mint condition, what a beauty. I would love a 635CSI with the 4 speed auto or even a 5 speed manual would be nice.
 
A lovely 1987 brochure of the 6 series

I have the same one. Interestingly - and I've never spotted this before, all the photos where the steering wheel is visible, are mirrored - with a an English number plate added, and where appropriate the fuel filler flap air brushed out.

... and all before Photoshop...

This is what made me love BMW in the 80s. Just look at the amazing frontal stance.
