Seller's Introduction
duPont REGISTRY Live presents this exceptionally well-preserved 1987 BMW M6, finished in Schwartz Black over a Silver Gray leather interior and showing just 39,376 original miles. Retaining its original body panels and accompanied by extensive documentation, this M6 offers the combination of low mileage, originality, and enthusiast-focused specification that makes these cars so appealing.
Overview
The E24 M6 brought BMW M’s motorsport-developed engineering to the company’s iconic grand touring coupe, combining elegant Giugiaro styling with a high-revving inline-six and a driver-focused chassis. At the heart of the M6 is BMW’s S38 3.5-liter inline-six, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and a limited-slip differential. This example benefits from extensive service documentation going back to the early 1990s. A complete tool kit and owner's manuals add to this car's appeal.
The exterior has been professionally refinished in factory Schwartz Black and retains its original body panels, complemented by 17-inch multi-piece wheels, brushed “diving board” bumpers, chrome window trim, a power sunroof, and a rear decklid spoiler. The classic E24 profile remains largely untouched, with the M6’s subtle aerodynamic details and muscular stance giving it a distinctive presence without compromising the clean lines of the original design.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Silver Gray leather upholstery, with power-adjustable front sport seats, power windows, cruise control, and front and rear air conditioning providing a comfortable grand-touring environment. Period-correct equipment includes the factory cassette radio and onboard diagnostic panel, while the restrained interior design remains true to the character of BMW’s performance coupes of the period.
Power comes from BMW’s S38 3.5-liter inline-six, delivering the high-revving character that has become synonymous with the marque’s M engines. A 5-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential, giving the M6 the mechanical, driver-focused feel enthusiasts expect from this generation.
Showing just 39,376 original miles, retaining its original panels, and accompanied by service records and factory literature, this 1987 BMW M6 represents a well-documented example of BMW’s iconic E24 performance coupe. Its Schwartz over Silver Gray specification, low mileage, and original presentation make it a particularly interesting example for enthusiasts and collectors of BMW’s early M cars. The sale includes the original wheels, service records, owner’s manuals, and complete factory tool kit.
Inspectors Notes: Now THIS is a great E24. The service documentation is extensive and shows this car was properly cared for. The black over gray spec feels very correct for an 80s BMW. A particularly impressive note on this car is that the body lines are laser straight. Here's your chance at a great classic M6 offered here at no reserve exclusively on duPont Registry Live!
