BMW Youngtimer - 40 Years BMW 02 Series, 30 Years BMW 6 Series, 20 Years BMW M3
Tue Mar 28 17:15:00 CEST 2006 Press Kit
40, 30, 20: BMW Mobile Tradition is celebrating three landmark birthdays in 2006. This year marks the anniversary for three series, each of which interprets the theme of sportiness in its own inimitable way. In 1966, volume production started up for the 02 Series. This series was extraordinarily successful in reinterpreting the concept of the sports saloon and played a major role in motor sport long after production had come to an end. In 1976, the elegant 6 Series Coupé entered the limelight at the Geneva Motor Show for the first time. It was distinguished and fast on the road, while being superior and aggressive on the race track. In 1986, the first M3 rolled off the assembly line and took to the road - a thoroughbred racing car licensed to drive on open roads.

40, 30, 20: BMW Mobile Tradition is celebrating three landmark
birthdays in
2006. This year marks the anniversary for three
series, each of which
interprets the theme of sportiness in its
own inimitable way. In 1966, volume
production started up for
the 02 Series. This series was extraordinarily
successful in
reinterpreting the concept of the sports saloon and played a
major role in motor sport long after production had come to an
end. In 1976,
the elegant 6 Series Coupé entered the
limelight at the Geneva Motor Show for
the first time. It was
distinguished and fast on the road, while being superior
and
aggressive on the race track. In 1986, the first M3 rolled off the
assembly
line and took to the road - a thoroughbred racing car
licensed to drive on open
roads.
