The 1976 BMW 633CSi (E24) is a first-year model of the "shark-nose" grand tourer designed by Paul Bracq to succeed the E9 coupe. These early models are distinguished by being produced by Karmann, the independent German coachbuilder, until mid-1977.

History and Production
Karmann Production: To handle initial demand for the new E24 6 Series, BMW contracted Karmann in Osnabrück to build the early cars. These 1976–1977 models are highly sought after by collectors.
Production Shift: Due to quality concerns regarding water leaks and fitment, BMW moved assembly in-house to their Dingolfing plant in August 1977, though Karmann continued to manufacture the steel body shells.
Initial Reception: Introduced in March 1976 at the Geneva Motor Show, the 633CSi was positioned as a high-performance luxury cruiser with a 3.2-liter engine.
