1987 BMW L6 Coupe Finished in elegant Lachssilber Metallic (Paint
Code 203) over a Gray leather interior, this 1987 BMW L6 Coupe
represents the final and most luxurious evolution of BMWs iconic
E24 "Shark" coupe. Offered exclusively in North America for a
single model year, the L6 combined the proven performance of the
635CSi with an exceptionally appointed cabin, creating one of the
most refined grand touring automobiles BMW produced during the
1980s. Power is provided by BMWs legendary 3.4-liter M30
inline-six, equipped with Bosch Motronic fuel injection and factory
rated at 182 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque. Shifting is
handled by a smooth ZF four-speed automatic transmission, sending
power to the rear wheels and delivering the effortless highway
performance and balanced handling that have made the E24 one of
BMWs most celebrated chassis. The L6 distinguished itself from the
standard 635CSi with an extraordinary level of luxury. Virtually
every interior surface is trimmed in supple Gray leather, including
the dashboard, center console, door panels, and seats, complemented
by rich burl walnut wood accents throughout the cabin. Standard
equipment included power-adjustable front seats with memory,
automatic climate control, cruise control, an onboard computer,
premium audio system, power sunroof, power windows, power mirrors,
anti-lock brakes, and factory alloy wheels, making the L6 BMWs
flagship luxury coupe for the 1987 model year. Designed under the
direction of Paul Bracq, the E24s unmistakable shark-nose front
end, long hood, pillarless side profile, and graceful roofline have
become hallmarks of BMW design. Finished in Lachssilber Metallic,
the bodywork presents an understated elegance that perfectly
complements the models chrome brightwork and timeless proportions.
The warm silver metallic finish accentuates the coupes crisp body
lines while reflecting the sophisticated character for which the L6
is known. Produced for only one model year in limited numbers, the
L6 has become one of the most desirable non-M variants of the E24
chassis. Its combination of classic BMW styling, legendary M30
reliability, luxurious appointments, and limited production has
earned it increasing recognition among collectors and enthusiasts
alike. As appreciation for analog BMW grand touring cars continues
to grow, well-preserved L6 examples have become increasingly scarce
and sought after. This 1987 BMW L6 offers a compelling opportunity
to acquire one of BMWs finest luxury coupes?a beautifully
engineered grand tourer that blends understated elegance,
exceptional comfort, and engaging rear-wheel-drive performance into
a package that remains as rewarding today as it was nearly four
decades ago.
