Successor to the race proven (E9) 3.0CS/CSi high performance sports coupes, the 6-series was introduced in August 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the (E12) 5-series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension (coil and wishbone front, trailing-arm rear) and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive 'shark nose' frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. An impression backed up by the various versions of BMW's mighty M30, SOHC straight-six engine fitted throughout the range. The 628CSi's 2788cc unit developed some 184bhp and 177lbft of torque (outputs that were reputedly sufficient to propel it from 0-60mph in 8.3 seconds and on to 127mph).

Reportedly one of just 862 BMW 628CSi Automatics built to right-hand drive specification, chassis WBAEA8201D816 was finished in the rare and attractive combination of Agate Green Metallic with Black leather upholstery. First registered as ‘A140 SUV’ on August 1^st 1983, the Coupe was sold via marque concessionaire First Front Garages of Kennington to Mr Jeremy Carter four days later. Bought by fellow Londoner Mrs Shelagh Ansari during September 1986, she and her family had the four-seater re-registered as ‘SIL 5205’ and kept it for the next thirty-three years. Predominantly main dealer maintained throughout its life, the 628CSi’s last recorded trip to a BMW service centre was on 20^th January 2012 at an indicated 115,385 miles. Treated to a service, new electric sunroof motor and some minor bodywork repairs before entering the current (fourth) ownership via the Classic & Sportscar Centre of Malton on 18^th September 2019 for £12,000, the Coupe has since been looked after by Vector Vehicle Systems of Northwich. The original odometer failed at c.123,600 miles with the replacement unit now showing some 1,500 miles. MOT’d until June 2025 with a single advisory relating to its front number plate, this tempting E24 is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack and a history folder.
