CONTENTS 1. Good things come in threes: BMW Youngtimers celebrate landmark birthdays. 2. A new era of automobile class: the 02. 3. Luxury of sportiness: The first 6 Series Coupé. 4. Sporting legend: The BMW M3.
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.
