The BMW 320i was one of the most popular variants of the E21 3 Series, which was released in 1976 with great critical acclaim.
The car’s iconic styling was the work of Paul Bracq, who took some of the design elements of the earlier BMW models, such as the double kidney grille, double round headlights, and the Hoffmeister kink on the car’s pillar.
Under the bonnet is a 2.0-litre, M10 inline-4 engine, which features a Bosch fuel-injection system that produces 123hp and 172 Nm of torque. This results in a 0-100km/h acceleration in 10.5 seconds, with a top speed of 180 km/h. The gearbox is a 4-speed manual.
The production of the E21 320i lasted between 1975 to 1977, when it was replaced by the 323i and a US version of the 320i, followed by its successor, the E30 3 Series in 1982.
This example is an authorised import so it was originally delivered to Japan and has never left the country, the car has been carefully maintained by the original dealer. It features a Chamonix White exterior with M-Technic stripes on the sides, complemented by a grey interior with blue seats.
This E21 320i has just 54,000km on the odometer and it last passed inspection to keep it road-registered in May 2023.
