BMW 6-Series E24 for BeamNG.drive
The E24 6-Series is the long, elegant shark-nose grand tourer that defined BMW coupe styling in the ’70s and ’80s, and this build brings it to BeamNG.drive with a reworked model, custom wheels, a body kit, a decent interior, and improved glass textures. It’s made for cruising, classic-car roleplay, traffic scenes, and screenshots rather than aggressive racing—a relaxed coupe that fits coastal drives and highway miles far better than a stunt session.
How it drives
That long wheelbase gives the E24 a planted, predictable feel on city roads, coastal routes, and highways. Smooth steering inputs and early braking keep it composed through corners and traffic, so it leans toward traditional, slower-paced grand touring rather than hard driving. The chosen configuration still shifts the feel a little, and running a few setups on the same stretch is the easiest way to compare acceleration, braking, and cornering grip.
Detailing and what to expect
The exterior model is high quality, and the interior is decent, which makes the car a good subject for screenshots, classic meets, and garage scenes. Custom wheels round out the look, and the included body kit gives you a more modified option without losing the classic coupe identity. The fixed-glass texture cleans up the everyday appearance, though the broken-glass texture still isn’t perfect—expect good normal glass but not a fully polished shatter in every crash. There are no openable parts on this one, so it’s less about detailed garage inspection and more about driving, presentation, and light crash testing, where front and side impacts vary with speed, angle, and config.
Installing is simple: drop the .zip straight into your BeamNG.drive mods folder — don’t unzip it — and it appears in the in-game selector. New to mods? Our BeamNG.drive installation guide walks through every step.
🔧 Our Test Notes
Hands-on notes from the CrashMods team
Our first stint with this E24 went to light crash testing: we nosed it into front and side impacts and watched how differently they read depending on speed, angle, and config. One heads-up from that exercise—the everyday glass now looks clean, but the broken-glass texture still isn't fully polished, so temper expectations on a dramatic shatter. Everything else about this rework pulls toward what the shark nose was built for. The long wheelbase makes it feel planted and predictable on coastal routes and highway miles, and it rewards smooth steering and early braking over hard charging. We ended up running different configurations over the same stretch of road, which turned out to be the best way to feel out the gaps in acceleration, braking, and cornering grip. The reworked exterior, custom wheels, and body kit meant it photographed as well as it cruised. Tested on BeamNG 0.38.
