1987: Enter Project E31
Enter project E31, the world’s first production car that would be available with the choice of six, eight, and twelve cylinder engines. Under development at Bayerische Motoren Werke, this sleek and powerful coupe was scheduled o replace the 6-series range in late 1989.
The supercoupe would draw on a fine heritage, recalling the unique and blisteringly fast M1 mid-engined supercar of 1979-1981. The new car recaptured the spirit of the M1, but was notably roomier and less complicated.
