Press release...
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 independent 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.
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.

Welcome to Olliewood
That is exactly what the 6 should have been. Once you see the side profile you can see the instant homage it pays to the E24..this is perfect, I haven't felt this way about a concept car, let alone sketches of a car in a long time.

I think the newer 6-series is ugly as sin. Hell I don't even know what the chassis code for it is.... couldn't care less about it anyways. This rendering is just gorgeous though.

Also does anyone else kind of see Alfa Romeo inspired design in this? Just me I guess.

on to the next one...
Good Lord that's HOT!
I know it's not a popular pick, but I actually like the look of the latest 6-series/M6.
If I had an M6, I would totally lend them my car to be the guinea pig for this project as long as they could promise they'll return it normal if I didn't like it!
