Just under 1700 units were sold in the US during its production (319 in 1988), and for enthusiasts of the Bavarian Marque the E24 M6 is a legendary machine that continues to be admired and coveted today. It was built to be a true driver's car delivering robust power, precise handling, and luxurious hand craftsmanship in equal measure.
