Description
BMW's big, brawny 6-series was one of the finest GT cars of the 1970s and 1980s, combining elegant styling (the work of the talented designer Paul Bracq) with a well-appointed and beautifully finished cabin and the sort of engineering excellence BMW's reputation was founded on. Powered by a range of silky smooth in-line sixes, the E24 range was launched in 1976 as the 630 CS or fuel-injected 633 CSi. Interestingly, Karmann was entrusted with original body production, before BMW assumed in-house control. The 633 carried the larger 3.2-litre (3210cc) version of the straight-six and was the initial flagship of the range, with a choice of auto or manual transmission options. Today these stylish coupes are popular for their ability to be used every day, their unique shape standing out amongst the tame modern designs in the car park.
