(from BMW Press
Release) Since 1976: the number 6 as the symbol of driving
pleasure.
For the first time in
1976, the number 6 became the symbol of a unique combination of
dynamism and stylish elegance. The BMW 6 Series, created by the
French BMW Head Designer Paul Bracq was longer and wider and thus
provided more space and comfort in the interior. The roof
construction demonstrated an elegant lightness yet again, the front
section running to a point highlighted outstanding sporting
capabilities. Six-cylinder in-line engines of 3.0 litres and 3.2
litres developed 185 hp and 200 hp under the bonnets of the BMW
630CS and the BMW 633CSi. Starting in 1978, a 3.5-litre engine
powered the BMW 635CSi with an astounding 218 hp, delivered by an
engine bred directly on the race track. The first-generation BMW 6
Series cars were made dazzlingly conspicuous not only by their
excellent driving dynamics but also by their leading-edge
technology, which ensured comfort and safety. During a production
period of 13 years, 86,216 vehicles were sold, making it the longest
running BMW model at that time.
