BMW 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.
