Hot new E63 6 Series Coupe!
Hot new Cabrio!
Hot new M6!
The successor to the E9
3.0CSi coupe, the 6 Series E24 sport coupes were produced
from March 1976 to April 1989. Over 86,000 E24's were
built during the production run.
The initial models of the E24 were the 630 CS and 633
CSi. The 633 had a 3210cc six-cylinder fuel injected
engine producing 200bhp at 5500 rpm. The 630 CS had a
2986cc six-cylinder engine with a Solex 4A1 carburetor
developing 184bhp at 5800 rpm.
Standard transmission on
both models was a 4-speed Getrag 262/9, with an optional
3 gear ZF HP-22 auto transmission.
The suspension was a
heritage from the E12 5-series, but it was refined for
even better performance. Later, the 635 CSi, L6 and M6
models were produced.
The E24 set several standards for BMW. One of the
highlights in the dashboard of the E24 was a test panel
with 7 green lights showing the status of engine oil
level, brake fluid level, brake lights, brake pad wear,
tail lights, coolant level, and windshield washer level.
The concept of the "check control" test panel has been used widely in BMW models ever since.
