The E24 BMW 6 Series was first introduced in 1976 and remained in production until 1989.
This particular car dates from 1986 but likely spent several years in a dealership before being bought by Sean Connery in 1989/1990. The famous actor sold it in 1998 just before he sold his Marbella villa. Connery and his wife were facing some tax investigations at the time (read more on this Wikipedia).
In the 1990s, Sean Connery lived in the ‘Casa Malibu’ in Marbella, Spain, where the Iberian climate and salt-free roads undoubtedly contributed to the excellent condition of the vehicle today.
