The very first 6 Series arrived in 1976, known as the BMW E24. At the time, it was the fastest four-seater coupé available. BMW had released four generations of the 6 Series, all with varying bodystyles and powertain options. With each new generation and refresh, BMW included more technology and comfort features, adding to the desirability. However, the 6 Series lineup was discontinued in 2020, replaced by the 8 Series.

Fourth Generation (2017 to 2020)
With the discontinuation of other bodystyles, only the 6 Series Gran Turismo continued into the fourth generation.

The 6 Series Gran Turismo is known for its coupé-like profile with the sloping roof. It offers a sports-car feel combined with elegance, while there is a spacious and luxurious cabin.

Third Generation (2011 to 2018)
From an exterior viewpoint, the 6 Series had clearly defined lines and a flat, broad silhouette. The free-standing Control Display found in the cabin added to the premium, high-class feel. There was also a convertible model available with a fabric roof for even more on-road enjoyment. In 2012, the 6 Series Gran Coupe was released, giving the lineup a larger option for added comfort.
A 2015 facelift gave the lineup new kidney grilles on the front and updated rear aprons that emphasised the width of the car. There were also new paint finishes, LED headlights and a Hi-Fi stereo available from 2017.

What optional extras should I look out for?
Buyers of a used BMW 6 Series should look out for the larger alloy wheels, and there are also some sporty upgrades worth looking for, such as gear paddles on the back of the steering wheel and piano black wood.
