 BMW 6 Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1983 BMW took the M88/3, a modified version of the M88/1 from the BMW M1 and put it in the E24 chassis, creating the M635CSi, the US variant of which was called the M6.
In 1989 the 6 Series was supplanted by the 8 Series, but in late 2003 the 6 Series was reintroduced (as a 2004 model), with Coupe and Convertible versions based on the BMW E63 and BMW E64 platforms, respectively.
Unlike that of the new 5 Series and 7 Series cars, the styling of the new 6 Series has generally received a warm welcome from the BMW community—except, largely, owners and enthusiasts of the E24.

 ITV Motoring - BMW 6-Series
BMW doesn’t pretend that for a long journey this is anything other than a two-plus-two for a pair of adults and a pair of children (rear legroom and headroom both being limiting factors), although I do quibble with its suggestion that adults might find the rear seats reasonable for a short trip.
This is another BMW with a strong standard specification and the capability of being loaded to the limit of the buyer’s wallet with high-tech options.
BMW says this is a technology transfer from the Williams-BMW Formula 1 team, and shouldn’t interfere with the 645 driver’s view of the road ahead.

 New BMW 6 Series Convertible — In Depth
Driving the 6 Series Convertible is a genuine pleasure in every respect – particularly thanks to the extra-stiff body which, benefiting from the special carrier structure, reduces vibrations to a level otherwise only matched by an excellent two-seater roadster and quite unique in the 2+2 convertible segment.
Among the wide range of BMW chassis and suspension control systems improving the very good regular suspension of the 6 Series Convertible to an even higher standard, particular emphasis should be given to DSC Dynamic Stability Control with its wide range of features and "intelligent" Dynamic Drive available as an option.

BMW really got serious about the front and rear crumple zone, reinforced roof panel, a bar extending the width of the cockpit behind the dashboard and reinforced rear bulkhead behind the back seat.
The 6 Series carried on the theme of driver-oriented cockpit controls and instrumentation introduced with the E12 5 Series and elevated it to the next level.
The first M model 6 Series was in 1984 but wasn't offered in the U.S. Some new M635s were brought in, however, as "gray market" cars and were "upgraded" with the parts required to make them street legal.

 BMW 6-Series
Otherwise, the BMW is easy to live with, offering good outward vision and an excellent driving position, even for the unusually tall and fat - with owners projected to be men aged between 40 and 55 years, it's a fair bet that that describes a reasonably large constituency of the 6's target audience.
And even though the big BMW coupe is available with a manual six-speed gearbox or an F1-style Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG), it is the six-speed auto which best suits its character.
In normal circumstances, the BMW handles high-speed corners with neutral balance and poise, and the level of grip available from the standard sized 245/45 R18 tyres is simply colossal.

BMW's radical new look has inspired controversy and passionate arguments since it debuted on the 7-series in 2001, but it's time to move on.
The pricey new 6-series revives a name BMW last used with the legendary 635CSi in the 1980s, and it lives up to the standard of excellence and exclusivity that sporty and graceful coupe set.

BMW reckons the new 6-series will be limited to 1600kg, which ain't too bad considering all the BMW techno-goodies that ship as standard.
As per BMW tradition, the new 645i will be electronically governed, and speeds over 250km/h will be theoretically impossible without a little 're-wiring'.
You can also (optionally) fit the 6-series with BMW's "intelligent" Dynamic Drive suspension that is supposed to compensate for body roll in a corner, and then there's BMW's Active Steering, which gives a more direct steering response at low speeds, and vice versa at high speeds.

 Celebrating the BMW 6 Series
Given the original 6 Series’ beautiful lines and successful sales, expectations are high that the new Sixer will be an absolute triumph, aesthetically and dynamically.
BMW might well fail at the task of producing a worthy successor to design chief Paul Bracq’s elegant original.
One sure path to oblivion is for BMW to follow the design cues of its X coupe concept - the blocky show car's oblique angles and lines would guarantee an aesthetic and sales disaster for any production BMW, let alone the heir apparent to the original 3.0 CS and 6 Series coupes.

An appealing, even downright sexy, design is vital, and BMW has risen to the occasion with one of the most successful shapes in its new wave.
Less confronting than the 7 Series limo and less complex than the Z4 roadster, the 6 relies on failsafe ingredients like a long bonnet, coupe roofline and big wheels – optional 19-inchers on the test car.
We'd be amazed if BMW boffins were not in backflip mode after all the criticism it's received over the past couple of years.

When BMW engineers were given the task of replacing the successful 2800 and 3.0CSi coupes, the engineering team had to work predominantly with parts and components that BMW was already making.

Paul Bracq was the chief stylist at the time, and he drew upon the 'hockey stick' styling of the sculpted rear pillar of the 5-series saloon to emphasize the heritage of the 6-series.
