We spotted this 1984 BMW 633CSi on eBay in June 2023, priced at $19,995 with 44,000 miles. The auction is long over, but we keep the record. When you’re trying to price an E24 6 Series, a real asking price for a documented low-mile car is a useful reference point.
What this car was
A black coupe with a red leather interior, which is about as classic an E24 color combination as you’ll find. The paint has a deep shine in the photos and the chrome bumpers and trim look straight. It sat on cross-spoke alloy wheels, listed as 14-inch.
Power came from the 3.2-liter M30 inline six, driving through an automatic. The engine bay in the photos is tidy and complete, without obvious leaks or missing parts.
The red leather seats show light creasing but no tears, and the black dash looks free of cracks. The listing named the comfort equipment:
- Power windows
- Power-adjustable front seats
- Air conditioning
- Sunroof
- Cassette stereo
The odometer photo shows 44,189 miles, in line with the mileage in the ad.

Was $19,995 a fair ask?
For a black-on-red 633CSi with 44,000 miles and a clean interior, it was a fair dealer-style ask. Low miles and condition are what move E24 prices, and this car had both. What kept it from the top of the market was the automatic and the fact that it is a 633CSi rather than the later 635CSi or the M6, which most collectors chase first. Rust in the usual E24 spots would be the main thing to check in person.
A little 6 Series history
BMW built the E24 6 Series from 1976 to 1989, and 86,216 were made. The 633CSi used the 3.2-liter version of BMW’s M30 inline six and was the US-market model through 1984, before the 635CSi took over. Its long shark-nose front end is still what most people picture when they think of the car.
