Certificate of Historical Significance
The origins of the first generation of the BMW 6 Series, marked by the project designation E24, date back to the early 1970s. The brand's development department entrusted the task of designing a prestigious coupé to the BMW Style Centre, headed by Paul Bracq (the task had also been entrusted in parallel to a team led by Giorgetto Giugiaro, whose project was shelved, however). The 6 Series made its company debut at the 1976 Geneva Motor Show. Its distinctive shape, with taut lines and large glass surfaces, was immediately welcomed with enthusiasm by the public. The original shape of the front end, featuring a plastic grille with a double kidney in the middle, also gave the car the nickname of Shark.

Beneath the modern bodywork lay cutting-edge technical solutions such as the body with deformable nose and tail, built to meet the stringent safety standards imposed by the American market, where it was marketed (from 1977). In 1978 the 628 CSi made its debut, inheriting the 184 hp 2.8-litre engine from the 528i. In 1982, the model's mid-life update, typical of the period, proved to be very substantial and brought new features both in the chassis area (weight reduction, suspension geometry change) and in the cosmetic area (front fog lamps integrated into the redesigned bumpers, while inside a new three-spoke steering wheel and a new dashboard including a service interval indicator were adopted).

This Bmw 628 CSI with original plates of the time, already restyled is in impeccable condition in its Balticblau-metallic (178/5). It has a 5-speed gearbox, all working instrumentation including the check-panel introduced with the restyling, newly replaced historic design tyres, original wheels, rebuilt suspension. The car has been completely refreshed in bodywork and interior, which has been embellished with leather upholstery perfectly in style with the model and era of the vehicle. Every component replaced is original BMW. The engine has undergone a thorough overhaul but has not been rebuilt. It comes with a certificate of historic and collectors' relevance.
