Description
The BMW E24 is the first generation of BMW 6 Series range of grand tourer cars, which was produced from January 1976 to 1989 and replaced the BMW E9 coupé.
The E24 was produced solely in a 2-door coupé body style. All models used petrol straight-six engines, with the majority (aside from the M635CSi/ M6 model) using a version of the BMW M30 engine family.
The E24 shared many parts with the E12 5 series, and in 1982 was updated with parts from the newly released E28 5 series.
The M635CSi is the first of the BMW M6 model line and is powered by the M88/ 3 straight-six engine.
The eventual successor to the nameplate, the E63 6 Series, was released in 2004 after a 16-year hiatus. Although the E31 8 Series was introduced as production of the E24 was ending, the 8 Series is considered a separate model line and therefore not a successor to the E24.
Production of the 633CSi started in January 1976 with the carburetted 630CS following in February 1976. A total of 86, 216 cars were built prior to production ending in April 1989.
E24s produced after June 1987 were fitted with ellipsoid headlamps, as per the recently introduced E32 7 Series. The front and rear bumpers and spoilers were redesigned to use a single design worldwide (prior to this, models sold in North America used a different design from the rest of the world).
The 635CSi engine was updated to the higher compression M30 B35, which resulted in a power increase of 19 kW (25 hp) for engines with catalytic converters.
Our example is in very very smart condition and presents lovely with bright chrome work, shiny black paint and a clean interior.
