Mechanically similar to the 5-series saloons and styled by Karmann like the preceding 3.0CS/CSi, BMW's 6-Series coupé debuted in 1976 incorporating some components destined for the yet-to-be-announced 7-Series. Well specified with all-independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and power-assisted steering as standard. It replaced the long running 3.0CS series,Commencing with the 3.0-litre 630 and 3.3-litre 633, the range was supplemented in 1978 by the 635CSi, which would enjoy a production run lasting into the 1990s, being periodically up-dated in line with its sister models. BMW fitted its luxury coupé with a big-bore, short-stroke, race-developed, 3.5-litre engine producing 218bhp, good enough to endow the fully equipped 635CSi with performance on a par with that of the lightweight 3.0CSL.
