BMW RZ-M6
Inspired by the earlier
generation E24 6 series, the RZ-M6 captures the stylish and
aggressive looks of the older generations of BMW’s and puts them in
the current 6 series . This is what the current 6 series could look
like, by replacing body panels, yet keeping the basic structure
intact. The body is 50mm wider to offer wider rubber for better
grip.
The current M6 already
offers a high level of performance, with upgrades for even more
power available worldwide. 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. It’s not a boy racer’s car, it’s more
mature, more elegant, yet not to be messed with. All this was
evident in the older generation BMW’s. This is a tribute to the E24
6 series.
Started as a small
indipendent body styling company, Racer X Design has a history of
designing and building conversions based on top of existing cars for
competitions, togather with designing cars and such conversions for
international clients. We are looking for partners who have the same
passion for the BMW brand and would like to see the RZ-M6 hit
production. For more information go to

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.
