BMW 6 Series refers to two generations of automobile from BMW, both being based on their contemporary 5 Series sedans. The first was the BMW E24, launched in 1976 to replace the 3.0CS & 3.0CSi (E9). In 2003, BMW released the all new BMW E63 / E64 which was available as a coupé and convertible. Models were the 645ci (replaced with the 650i) and the 630i.

An all-new 6-Series (E63) was introduced in 2003, filling the hole in the lineup left since the end of the 8-Series' production. Based on the underpinnings of the E60, the new 6-Series was introduced with a 4.4 L 325 bhp V8 engine for the 645Ci. In 2004, a more affordable inline six-cylinder engine was introduced in the 630i. This was soon followed by a convertible model (the E64), the first 6-Series with a removable top. Soon after its introduction, the 645Ci was replaced by the 650i, with a larger displacement (4.8 L) and 360 bhp. The range-topping M6 arrived in late 2005, using the same V10 engine as the M5, with 507 PS.
