It’s pretty amazing when you consider there was a 14 year absence between the first and second generation 6 series models in the BMW lineup. Sure, the 8 series did its best to plug the gap in the 1990s, but for some reason, it didn’t catch on quite as well as the shark nosed E24. While the new 6 isn’t the most horrible vehicle ever designed, I think it’s safe to say that the old 6 will probably age better than the more modern version. Let’s take a minute to look a 1989 635CSi, the final year of E24 production.

I also have the Original Window Sticker! Last year of this make and model. The car is flawless; it works/sounds/looks great.
E24 M6 prices are on the move, with good ones reaching into the $20k territory. We aren’t quite there yet when it comes to the 635CSi, but for those who seek more relaxed cruising and may not need the M car speed, an automatic equipped E24 like this might just hit the spot. The asking price here is a little bit on the high side, but not too far off the mark, given the condition and mileage. If this one could be snagged for somewhere in the $11 to $12k range, it would be well bought.
