Successor to the race proven (E9) 3. 0CS/ CSi high performance sports coupes, the 6-series was introduced in March 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the (E12) 5-series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension (coil and wishbone front, trailing-arm rear) and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive 'shark nose' frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. An impression backed up by the various versions of BMW's mighty M30, SOHC straight-six engine fitted throughout the range. Launch flagship, the 633 CSi was powered by a 3210cc SOHC unit that developed some 200bhp and 210lbft of torque. Available with a no-cost choice of either four-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, the model was reputedly capable of 130mph. Introduced to the UK in August 1976, just 1, 345 RHD 633CSi Autos are thought to have been made.
