Racer X Design BMW RZ-M6 Concept

Inspired by the earlier generation E24 6 series, the RZ-M6 "captures the stylish and aggressive looks of the older generations of BMWs and puts them in the current 6 series."

Compared to the standard 6 Series model, the RZ-M6 features a wider body (+50 mm) and new body panels.

"The RZ-M6 is designed to show how a 6 series should look like to reflect that pedigree.

"While aggressive, it’s not over the top, keeping the lines of the current M6 structure flowing and factory like. […]. This is a tribute to the E24 6 series."

The small indipendent body styling company Racer X Design is currently looking for partners in order to turn the RZ-M6 project into a production reality.

History of the E24 6 series

The early BMW sport coupes had monumental performance and style with the added luxury of design and technology.

Showcased at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 1976, the 6 Series E24 sport coupes were the successor to the E9 3.0 CSi coupe.

The coupe tradition in the early and mid seventies had been so widely successful, that BMW decided the era of 1965-75 coupes needed a successor.

Transferring the tradition and image created by BMW with beautiful models like the 2000 C/CS and the 3.0-3.5 CS/CSi/CSL coupes, the E24 coupe captured this same image and effect.

The E24 635 CSi touring car was BMWs entrant in Group A touring car racing from 1983 until the introduction of the BMW M3 in 1986.
