What do you guys think? I love how they look and they're pretty damn cheap. $5-10k.

Reliable? Good cars?

 

A $5000 BMW? Is that a car or a bike?
I've never heard of them. I went to bmwusa.com to see them and they're not there either.

 

heh, i think he's talking about the old ones. the 6 series is poised to return but they won't be starting at 5k

 

Yah the old one.

 

I learned to drive on an old one! Manual steering, automatic 633. Great car! We never had a problem with it. Finally my father sold it. I wish we still had it. One day i'll buy him another. He always regreted selling it. Awesome handling, great road feel as far as i remember. Definately worth checking them out at least. Find a nice one, there seems to be a lot floating around.

 

Must be pretty old. I've heard of the 3, 5, 7, and 8. Never a 6.

 

classic BMW 2 door pillarless coupe from the 70's and 80's. A bit long in the tooth and I imagine the mechanicals will be expensive to maintain, but this was a top of the line car back then. Really classy, big greenhouse.

Go for it! If you get a 635CSL that is something special.

 

wasnt that the car in moonlighting?. a big 2 door but very sporty looking. Gives the impression you dont have kids

 

I owned an 87 635csi, awesome highway car, clutch will break your leg in the city though, built like a tiger tank,drive trane as near to bullet proof you can get, but watch for rust.

 

One of my profs in college had a silver 635csi he drove. He was a UNC and Texas grad. I knew it was his car b/c it was parked in the faculty lot with the plates GO HEELS. He had it tricked out a bit -- exhaust, rims, tint, etc. It looked quite yummy.

 

Back in 88 my dad got a BMW 6 series L6 which would be today’s equivalent of the M class cars they make. Beautiful car Black on Black, full leather, Rear AC. Dad got rid of it back in 94 wished he did not would have made a hell of a first car. In its day they were near super cars.

 

Looked Similar to this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6129
,though its really a car you have to see in person to appreciate.

 

Definitely a classy coupe. Go for one of the later years as they are less prone to rust and other troubles.

I saw a picture of the new 6-series in Car & Driver (I think) and it just doesn't do the name justice, in my opinion.

Chased one at the track for an entire session. Car handled well.

 

could have sworn they had a v8 - did any of them?
