Just wanted to add a few corrections and some additions to the history of the 6 series line from Bayerische Motor Werken.
1. The 6 series was introduced in 1976, but the M635CSi was introduced in 1983. The m635CSi was the first actual M6, as it were.
2. BMW discontinued the entire 6 series line in 1989.
3. The 2004 M6 is the first 6 series from BMW in 15 years after the unpopular 8 series was discontinued.
I have always loved the lines of the 6 series and remember beautiful Maddy Hayes from 'Moonlighting' drove one as did bad ass Hawk from 'Spencer for Hire.' I fell in love with the lines of this coupe, the jutting nose, the frameless windows, and the elongated two door look.
This 2004 incarnation doesn't quite do it for me...but who knows maybe it will grow on me. I think personally that the current M5 is a better package.
