BMW 6-Series

The first "M6" E24 appeared in 1976. It replaced the previous sport-coupe E9 BMW 3.0CS / produced before 1989, with some and minor external modifications (hard to improve ideal).

Shark nose E24 and now looks great. Perhaps no other BMW model was apparently so inspired philosophy of speed and aggressiveness.

Often thought that E24 is the sports version of the body E23 seventh series. It is not. Tested fifth series (E12, and E28) was the inspiration for the design of the chassis and many nodes sixth series.

E24 in the sixth series has faltered. A close ideologically eighth series (E31 sport-kupe) is still another type car and pastors are very expensive and with a young beauty.

The first model in the body E24 is rare, now 2- carburetor 630CS. She used the same engine 3-litre as 3.0CS. Her features were strikingly little bumper. The U.S. fired 630CSi, furnishing the M30 engine "big six" (row, six cylinders, 12 valves) injector K-Jetronic and for Europe 633CSi c increased to 3.2 liters of volume.

In September 1980 in Europe have a different, a little more economical model 628CSi. In contrast to it, "senior" model in January 1980 has further increased to 3.5 liters and became the 635CSi. 635th models have two different engine.

In June 1982, for "normal" engine of 3453 cc, developed for the 535i E12 and E24, the engine began to put on the seventh series (E23 735i) with a 3430 cc, with a number of positive contrast and improved control unit injector. This would significantly reduce fuel consumption without loss of power and dynamic characteristics.

Finally, big 635CSi (actually M6) with the engine S38 BMW Motorsport (row 6 cylinders DOHC, 24-valve) with HP 286-yu under the bonnet was a true radical fans of BMW (released in 5803 pieces).

The American version of E24 yielded very European. Strict laws against pollution forced heavily boosting engines M30. All American models (633 and 635) are all 182 hp (the only difference maximum Torque) and their dynamics is far from ideal.

As a result, to maintain the credibility of the series in the United States was released L6 model with incredible number of options and super saloon expensive, but with the same 182 horsepower under the hood. The engine, E24 in the United States has suffered because of safety requirements. Huge bumper severely degrades rapidly bow Six.

Production of the new sports "M6" is in Dingolfinge. The gathering process entirely new Sportcoupe given to robots. Among European auto recent unfolding events, who is a very unusual and best production. First speak Rolls-Royse, which buried its assembly plant in the ground and dug through mounds created long glass tunnel that the buyer can walk along the assembly line, watching to the cause of his car.

Volkswagen, in response built "the most environmentally friendly refinery in the world" - a huge glass building in the center of the large park. Those interested can follow the clean production process through glass. Now manufacturer BMW. Inside its factory said a new camera platform Hollywood bugbear of total victory robots live together. For people of no-cars do just about anything.

Even more impressive is the production of leather seats. God, seemingly without any rights. But only operator asked Colors Saloon, ordered the buyer. Robots choose skin color, check its quality and carve. Meanwhile, another machine, which detector, selects the desired color.

Body parts BMW 6 made not only from the usual steel and aluminium, but from the "new generation of plastic, and composite materials. However, the company claimed that without falling back into the accident, the driver never sees: "The plastic on the stability characteristics than aluminum."

The first BMW 7 has been produced in 1923, the body was much more representative of Class car seventh series.

BMW E23 was first presented in Munich in May 1977. The car continued the tradition of the body E3 (super saloon 3.0L-3.3L). The design was taken from the same shortly before emerging sport-coupe E24. The presentation of car dubbed as "future-machine today." BMW E23 developed the details of construction within five years. A month later, the first cars E23 left the conveyor. They have become models 728, 730 and 733i.

(formally, but that much more could be called car M8, while in the draft and are M8 restructured suspension and bodywork). «Integral» rear axle and car pastors provide excellent resistance to the course, especially with the rapid passage turns.

Thanks to a unique combination of Double Vanes, to regulate valves best way, a special module intake air and 4-valve technology BMW achieved the highest torque and lightning reactions. The revitalization of the "Sport" option proposed as a system of dynamic traffic management Driving Dynamic Control to remove the engine to even higher levels. Models collected Z4 3.0i engine (170 kW / 231 hp / maximum speed of 250 km / h) and Z4 2.5i (141 kW / 192 hp / 235 km / h).
