BMW E24 M635 CSi – The legendary "Sharknose" icon

The BMW E24 M635 CSi, better known by its nickname 'Sharknose' due to its aggressive, forward-leaning front end, represents one of the most beautiful and desirable models in the entire history of the Bavarian giant. Its history began in 1976 when the 6 Series was first introduced to the world as the successor to the CS and CSL models, but the peak of its development was reached in 1983 with the arrival of the legendary M635 CSi version. This car was the result of the BMW M division's vision to combine the supreme luxury of a Grand Tourer with purebred racing performance. The development of this model was focused on creating the ultimate coupe to dominate the highways, and its design, signed by Paul Bracq, remains an unsurpassed example of elegance and sports aerodynamics to this day. The technical description of this real automobile reveals its true heart – the legendary M88/3 inline six-cylinder engine with 24 valves, which directly traces its roots to the BMW M1 supercar. With 286 HP, the M635 CSi reached a top speed of 255 km/h, making it one of the fastest production cars in the world at the time. Beyond raw power, this model was synonymous with luxury performance; the interior was upholstered in the finest leather, equipped with a trip computer, air conditioning, and a premium suspension system that allowed for high-speed cruising across Europe in maximum comfort.
