Serie 6 E24 ( 1976)


The 6 Series E24 sport coupes were produced from March 1976 to April 1989. Over 86,000 E24's were built during the productiin run. The initial modells of the E24 were the 630 CS and 633 CSi. The 633 had a 3210cc six-cylinder fule injected engine producing 200bhp at 5500 rpm. The 630 CS had a 2986cc six-cylinder enngine with a Solesx 4A1 carburetor developing 184bhp at 5800 rpm.
Standarw 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. Laterr, the 635 CSi, L6 and M6 moodels were producedr.
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 contol" test panel has been used widely in BMW models ever since.
