[edit] General points

totally re-done to bring it up to standard.

Changed any references to ps to hp. 203.109.252.196

PS is standard units not HP. YCCHAN 19:43, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

This article desparetly needs an image (the current one is awful). Sahands 3 AUG, 2006.

In my opinion are both pictures hideous. -- Janadore 13:37, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

And the first one is under copyright too, I'll be photographing an M6 next week (already talked to the owner) and hopefully we'll get some decent pics here then.

Sounds pretty good. Thanks.-- Janadore 13:57, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Changed 'PS' back to 'hp'. PS is not 'standard'; it is used on next to no other wiki pages dealing with cars. Most common format is "hp (kw)" followed by "kw (hp)".

[edit] Sub heading

I'm a BMW driver, but can anyone explain what the heading E24 M635CSi/M6 means? It looks like pure gobbledygook, what use would this heading be to a non-BMW M6 fan? It's also a pretty dire way to start an article. Escaper7 08:09, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I guess a space would help. E24 M6 and 635CSi. YCCHAN 01:49, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
It's just a bit meaningless. Wouldn't M6 from 1983 followed by M6 from 2005 make more sense - the technical details, evolution numbers could be explained below each section. Escaper7 13:47, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
As far as I am aware, the 6 series in Europe with the 286 hp engine was called M635 CSi. There was, I beleive, an M6, which was a 635 CSi with "M" kit on it and only the 218hp engine. It's easy to get these two cars confused with each other. Furthermore, for the last 9 months or so of production, the M635 CSI was badged as simply M6, confusing matters further. The car was known as M6 in the USA. LewisR 18:10, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] this car rocks ?

who puts that in an article "this car rocks" ?


[edit] M635CSi fastest production model ever from BMW?

Wasn't the BMW M1 a faster car? It had the same engine with a lower smaller frontal area. LewisR 23:43, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] next generation ?

When is comming the next generation of the M6, in 2011,2012 or 2013 ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.162.99.188 (talk) 17:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
