(from BMW Press
Release) The new BMW 6 Series Coupe is a part of the
tradition of iconic classic cars which changed automobile design
forever and even today has lost nothing of its fascination. Its line
of ancestry begins with the BMW 327 Sport Coupe, honoured as the
Coupe of the Year in 1937, which thrilled and delighted with its
flawless elegance and is judged to be the most exclusive BMW model
to be produced before the war. In contrast to the 55 hp engine which
was very powerful for the time, from 1938 onwards, the BMW 327/28
was fitted with the 80 hp sports engine from the legendary BMW 328
Roadster. This formed the basis for a sports coupe with, by the
standards of the day, ultra-light aluminium bodywork with which BMW
was placed first in the overall ranking in the legendary Mille
Miglia long distance race in 1940.
