The Shark E24 635CSi BMW Cinnabar Red BMW Classic 6 Series

A quick walk around of a beautiful 635CSi BMW Cinnabar Red. With the BMW 6 Series no longer in production as of 2020 it is my pleasure to preserve this small piece of history from a common lens. The E24 was the first generation of the 6-series, nicknamed ‘The Shark’ for it’s unique front valence. The color of this car was a gorgeous BMW cinnabar red, paired with Gold BBS wheels. As time goes on the shapes and contours will never be the same, the bulky leather interior with comfort as the primary focus, seems to be a design of the past. The BMW 6 Series has been replaced in the USA with the 8 Series nameplate. It is my pleasure to preserve automotive history the first generation of the 6-series BMW. If you have time please contribute some of your thoughts in the comments below. Do you own a 6 Series E24 or any 6 Series, have ever owned one or plan to? Do you have an opinion on the BMW 6 Series or it being discontinued? Thanks for any input.
