For Sale at Auction: 1988 BMW M6 in Las Vegas, Nevada

Vehicle Description

Chassis No. WBAEE1412J2561013

The BMW E24 M6, sold in the U.S. from 1987 to 1989, was the flagship of the
first-generation 6-Series lineup. Known in Europe as the M635CSi, it featured
the race-bred S38 straight-six engine, the successor to the legendary M1 M88,
for the American market, producing approximately 256 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of
torque through a five-speed manual transmission. While slightly detuned compared
to the European M88/3 version, it still delivered impressive performance for its
time, reaching 60 mph in under six seconds and topping out around 150 mph. The
M6 stood apart with aggressive bodywork, BBS wheels, big brakes, and a
sport-tuned suspension that sharpened its grand-touring character. Inside, it
featured leather upholstery, power options, and a driver-focused layout that
struck a balance between luxury and performance. With only 30-percent of these
set for the United States out of a total of 5,855 worldwide, the E24 M6 remains
one of BMW's most desirable modern classics, blending 1980s style with
motorsport DNA.

Finished in Royal Blue over a Lotus White interior, this M6 completed production
at the Dingolfing production plant on 17 July 1987. The car was specified with a
leather steering wheel, smoker package, electrically adjustable seats with
memory, and rear air conditioning. The CARFAX report begins in June 1991,
showing the car was registered in New York with 32,209 miles. The car was
relocated to California a month later, in July. The M6 then returned to
California, where it passed an emissions inspection on 5 June 2025, at 115,938
miles.

Displaying just over 116,000 miles at cataloging, this M6 remains beloved by
enthusiasts since its launch, the M6 has remained a coveted choice among M
collectors to this day. With excellent driving dynamics, an engaging five-speed
manual transmission, and the ability to conquer continents with ease, they have
been and continue to remain one of the most rewarding BMWs of the 1980s and a
favorite among marque enthusiasts.
