The original 3 Series. The E21 created the compact executive segment and established the template BMW has followed for five decades.

History

The E21 replaced the legendary 02 Series and immediately defined a new category. Paul Bracq's clean, angular design housed a range of four and six-cylinder engines. The 323i with its 2.3-liter six was the driver's choice.
