BMW 6 Series (E24)

The first BMW 6 Series followed the 3 (1975) and 5 Series (1972) in spring 1976. It was a large coupé based on the BMW 5 Series and followed the luxury-class coupés created in the 1960s (E9). Groundbreaking technical innovations were incorporated into this model series right from the start. The 6 Series succeeded in combining elegance, sportiness and long-distance suitability like hardly any other automobile before. On 18.04.1989, the last BMW 6 Series Coupé rolled off the assembly line in Dingolfing. With a construction period of 13 years, this makes it the longest-built model in BMW history. At peak times, up to 50 units of this car were built per day at the Dingolfing plant. There was initially no successor to the BMW 6 Series (E24); it wasn't until 2003 that another generation of the BMW 6 Series (E63) came onto the market.
