A Record‑Breaking Production Run
Produced from 1976 to 1989, the E24 enjoyed a 13‑year lifespan, earning the title of BMW's longest‑lasting series. Its production ended in 1989, a milestone that still stands out in the brand’s timeline.
Exclusive M635CSi/M6 Numbers
The high‑performance M635CSi (known as the M6 in some markets) was a rarity, with only 5,855 units built worldwide between 1983 and 1989. Of those, 1,767 were shipped to North America, underscoring its exclusive appeal.
Parts Have Become Collector’s Items
As the E24 ages, key components like the ABS wheel sensors have become super‑expensive and are listed as discontinued, with prices around $320 each. Even good used transmissions are almost impossible to locate, and BMW no longer offers new or remanufactured units.
