BMW 6 Series refers to several generations of executive coupés produced by
BMW.
The first was the
E24, being derived from the E12 & E28
5 Series 4-door sedans. The E24 launched in 1976 to replace the
3.0CS & 3.0CSi (E9). 14 years later, in 2003, BMW released the all new
E63/E64 which was available as a
coupé and
convertible, based on the chassis of the E60
5 Series sedan. Models were the 645ci (later replaced with the 650i) and the 630i. The highest performance 6 series is the
BMW M6. The third generation
F12 and F13 6 series is scheduled for release in 2011 for the 2012 model year, sharing a platform and some engines with the
7 Series (F01) and
5 Series (F10).
