E24 M635CSi/"M6"

In 1983, BMW took the M88 / 3 engine, a modified version of the M88 / 1 of the BMW M1 and put it in the chassis of the E24 BMW 6-Series, the creation of the M635CSi (called the "M6" in North America). The "M6" was critically acclaimed during his lifetime of its elegant, aggressive "shark-nose" style, well-appointed luxury and performance fast. An M6 can be distinguished from other E24 models by a larger air dam, M badges on the grille and rear, and just over the front brakes.

In the United States, the E24 "M6" was fitted with the catalyzed S38 engine, producing 256 hp (191 kW) and 243 lb ft (329 Nm) of torque. The European version does not need catalysts, and produces 286 hp (213 kW) and 251 lb ft (340 Nm) of torque. The "M6" was good for a 0-60 mph (97 km / h) time of 6.4 and 6.8 seconds for the European and American versions, respectively. However, Car and Driver Magazine tested the U.S. "M6" in July 1987 and achieved a 0-60 mph (97 km / h) time of 6.1 seconds.
