The BMW E21 is the first-generation 3 Series and laid the foundation for what would become one of BMW’s most iconic model lines.
This 1978 320i is powered by the durable M10 inline-4 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, delivering the simple, mechanical driving experience that defines late-1970s BMW engineering.
Originally a one-owner vehicle, it was parked in a garage in 1991 and remained stored for decades before being acquired. Since then, it has undergone extensive mechanical work at Sheni’s Auto Trend to ensure it runs properly and reliably. The seats were fully restored using new OEM BMW cloth and fresh foam, returning the interior to proper condition.
With just over 86,000 km, this example represents a rare opportunity to own an early 3 Series in clean, honest condition.
Introduced in the mid-1970s, the E21 was BMW’s first 3 Series and helped establish the brand’s reputation for compact, driver-focused sedans.
Lightweight, rear-wheel drive, and mechanically simple, the 320i offers a direct and engaging driving feel that modern cars no longer replicate. Its proportions, chrome trim, and classic dashboard layout make it unmistakably vintage BMW.
As early 3 Series models continue to gain appreciation among collectors, clean and largely original examples like this have become increasingly desirable.
