The BMW 6 Series Coupe in the E24 body is a wonderful example of how perceptions can change over time. When this model hit the market back in 1976, critics were quick to mock it, calling it an overly expensive, bloated toy with a claim of sportiness, where looks seemed to overshadow substance. Even in the USA, where about a third of all 6 Series were sold, the model wasn't beloved even by the most dedicated fans of the Bavarian brand. Even David Evan Davis Jr, a pillar of American automotive journalism and publisher of Car and Driver, a big BMW enthusiast and promoter on American soil, didn't speak too highly of the 6 Series. But when the 13-year life cycle of the 6 Series finally came to an end, and the high-tech 8 Series E31 took its place, fans started mourning the loss of the 6 series, fondly remembering it as a shining example of true BMW style.

Nicely done! Welcome to YT. I would love to have an old 6series now. At least I have had a 733i back in the days.

Great Car!! It always brings a smile on my face when the Americans pronounce coupé (koo-pay) as coup and Z (Zed) as Zee not to mention the thing that covers the engine (bonnet) as hood 😂😂😂

Despite its faults, the 633csi was a beautiful car .
