BMW 6 Series (E24)
The BMW E24 is the first generation of BMW 6 Series grand tourer coupès and was produced from January 1976 to April 1989. It replaced the E9 coupés and was, after a 16-year hiatus, succeeded by the E63 6 series in 2003. The E24 was produced solely in a 2-door coupe body style.
BMW e24 is the sequel to the gorgeous 3.0 CS. the initial proposal for the E24 was a based on a BMW E9 3.0 CS with an increased height, but luckily, Bob Lutz (Sales & Marketing executive) rejected this idea and production form was significantly lower than the roof-raised 3.0 CS. This was the starting point for the legendary E24 6 series. The first models on the market were 630CS and 633CSi, built by Karmann for BMW - later all production was taken indoors by BMW.
A new model was presented in July 1978, the great 635 CSi with slightly different apperance. One of those was a front spoiler and a plastic/rubber back spoiler that reduced lift at high speed up to 15 percent. It had a new 3.5 litre (3453cc) engine that was developed by BMW Motorsport. The engine block was developed from the M49 racing engine that had been so successful in the mid and late seventies, and also from the M88 four valve per cylinder engine that powered the M1 mid-engined sports car. With such genes it was natural that the new
engine was coded M90.
