The 1987 BMW 6 Series belongs to the luxurious and elegant executive car line's second generation. Famed for its performance and refined ride, it showcases BMW's design philosophy and technological capabilities of the era. One engine option that stood out was the 3.5-liter M88/3 six-cylinder engine, packing 286 horsepower, matched to a five-speed manual transmission. While sophistication marked its interior, innovations such as power-adjustable front seats and a high-end sound system set it apart from many rivals. However, it lacked many of today's comfort and safety features, such as integrated infotainment systems or advanced driver assists—an expected attribute given its period. Its sleek, distinctive 'shark nose' design gives the 1987 6 Series timeless appeal.
