The 6 Series,
spawned in 1976, only existed in one class previous to 2004, the E24,
but had class-a-plenty to claim a place in motoring history and in the
enthusiast heart as a fast-paced luxury Coupe performer. The new six
series, due to be unleashed soon, promises not to disappoint.

Basic
History & Specifications
The BMW 6 appeared in 1976, borrowing much
in design and mechanics from the upcoming E23 7 series. Initially,
it was available in either the 630CS, or the more powerful
633CSi. In 1978, the 635CSi joined the line-up and a year
later, the 628CSi became available to tempt entry-level buyers.
In 1983, the M635CSi, most notoriously, the 'M6', whose M-power
engine was derived from the blitzly and very fast BMW M1 arrived.
The M635CSi was a beast of 286bhp and capable of 0-60mph in
6.4 seconds. The the 628CSi was axed by BMW in 1988, with
all 6s discontinued in 1989.
