Shark Nose Classic: 1984 BMW 635CSi

The shark nose e24 generation BMW is another beautiful classic coupe designed by Paul Bracq.   The e24 was a replacement to the aging CS and CSL coupes, and over 86,000 were produced for worldwide consumption from 1976 through 1989. The BMW E24 6-series is one of those 'in-betweener' 80s classics; it isn't quite a collectible classic, but un-restored examples are starting to show their age.  Find this 1984 BMW 635CSi here on eBay offered for $12,900 buy-it-now or make-offer located in Edmond, OK.

Underappreciated Classic: 1981 BMW 633CSi

When will the E24 generation BMW 6-series get the market attention and love it deserves?  Oh...I'm not supposed to say that?  I'm just supposed to keep my mouth shut and let all the sheeple go and spend their money on Porsche 911s and over restored Camaros?  Okay.  Right.  Nothing to see here. Not a fantastic piece of machinery with a manual gearbox that desparately needs some Singer style restorations for the wealthy buyer to scoop up like popcorn.  Find this 1981 BMW 633CSi here on eBay offered for $8,100 buy-it-now or make offer located in Sugar Land, TX with 3 days to go.

Bracq Friday: 1984 BMW 633CSi

Out of all the Paul Bracq designed classics (and there are many) one of my favorites has to be the E24 6-series, which certainly isn't the most beautiful  (W113 Pagoda 280SL is the most beautiful), but it offers a level of elegance, class, and sophistication for a paltry price. Find this 1984 BMW 633CSi here on eBay bidding for $4,300 reserve-not-met with 2 days to go, located in Hicksville, NY.

3k: Seller Submission: 1985 BMW 635CSi

The E24 generation BMW 6-series is just new enough to be comfortable as a daily driver, but not old enough to be considered a collectors item.  It falls perfectly into the low priced Cool Car List that is scrupulously maintained at the Daily Turismo headquarters. Think of it like Top Gear's Cool Wall, except everything can be purchased on a part time tennis pro's salary and fixed with bailing wire, zip ties and carb cleaner.  Naturally, the E24 6er falls squarely into the middle of the list.  Find this 1985 BMW 635CSi offered for $3,500 in Phoenix, AZ via craigslist.  Seller submission from Rob.

5k: A Better Bond: 1983 BMW 633CSi E24 5-spd

In 1976 the original BMW 6-series introduced to a gas crisis panicked world a new paradigm in Grand Touring (GT) luxury automobiles.  GT cars have always been about style, speed, comfort and usability - roughly in that order - but the E24 6-series didn't need to impress the world with decadent curves like an Aston Martin DB5 or a brutish V8 like a Mach 1 Mustang.  Quite in line with BMW's 60s/70s/80s philosophy, the car was built with the right amount of power from a smooth inline-6, rock solid build quality, autobahn tight handling and understated styling that looks good from all angles, but can blend into the crowd if needed.  It is quite frankly a better spy car than anything 007 ever drove on screen.  Find this 1983 BMW 633CSi for sale in Portland, OR for $5,099 via craiglist.  Tip from Frederic D.
