Few performance coupes of its time bore the racing pedigree possessed by BMW’s M6 coupe. The “M” designation itself drew the line from the company’s Motorsport division, which had been responsible for both the 1983 World Championship-winning BMW Formula 1 engine and the extraordinary 1979 M1 supercar. Debuting in Europe in 1983 as the M635CSi, the M6’s exotic inline-6 powerplant featured a slight increase in displacement over the standard 635 coupe, twin overhead cams and four valves per cylinder, and Bosch’s latest Motronic engine management system for a 74 HP bump to 256 HP at 6,500 RPM.
Front and rear spoilers, upgraded suspension and brakes, and BBS RS wheels complete the pricey but well-rounded M package. One of 5,835 produced from 1983 through 1989 and one of approximately 1,677 for the North American market, this remarkably fresh red-on-white 1987 M6 coupe offers air conditioning, power seats and a 5-speed manual transmission. This is a beautiful example driven just 53,317 miles.
