1987 BMW M6

BMW’s E24-generation M6—known in Europe as the M635CSi—was the brand’s flagship performance grand tourer of the 1980s. Combining elegant styling by Paul Bracq with the heart of the M1 supercar, it represented the pinnacle of BMW’s blend of luxury, craftsmanship, and motorsport engineering. Beneath its long, sculpted hood lies the celebrated M88/3 powerplant: a 3.5-liter, double-overhead-cam, 24-valve inline-six derived directly from BMW Motorsport’s first road-going supercar. Featuring individual throttle bodies and a high-revving character, the M6 produced 256 horsepower in U.S. specification—making it one of the most capable grand touring coupes of its era.

Paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, limited-slip differential, and upgraded suspension geometry, the M6 delivered balance, precision, and long-distance comfort in equal measure. Its chassis tuning and distinctive driving dynamics set a new standard for performance coupes, earning it a place among the most revered M cars of the analog era.

Today, the E24 M6 endures as a cornerstone of BMW’s 1980s performance legacy, admired for its analog purity, distinctive styling, and motorsport pedigree.

This 1987 BMW M6 is finished in an elegant shade of Blue over a White leather interior and currently shows approximately 86,000 miles on the odometer. The interior presents in well-preserved condition, displaying the car’s signature combination of understated luxury and driver-focused design. Externally, the car retains much of its original finish and character, though close inspection reveals a number of minor paint blemishes consistent with age and originality. These imperfections contribute to an honest presentation, reflecting the car’s largely unaltered condition and careful long-term enjoyment.

Representing the final years of hand-built BMW coupes, the E24 M6 offers an irreplaceable blend of refinement, style, and performance. This Blue-over-White example stands as a compelling opportunity to acquire a driver-quality example of one of BMW’s most iconic grand tourers—equally at home in a discerning collection or on a winding backroad.
