The BMW 316i, produced from 1983 to 1987, was the entry-level model in the second generation of the BMW 3 Series (E30). Although positioned as the most affordable option, the 316i did not compromise on the core values of the 3 Series: driving dynamics and quality. The 316i was powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, a smaller displacement version of the engine found in other E30 models. This engine, known as the M10, produced 90 horsepower, giving the car a top speed of 107 mph (172 km/h) and a 0-62 mph time of 12.6 seconds. While not blisteringly fast, it offered a good balance of performance and fuel economy for its time. The 316i was visually similar to the other E30 models, featuring the signature boxy styling and distinctive kidney grille. The interior, while simple and focused on functionality, was well-constructed and offered a comfortable driving experience. The 316i was available in both sedan and coupe body styles, offering a choice of practicality or sporty aesthetics. Despite its modest power output, the 316i gained a reputation for its responsive handling, thanks to the E30's excellent chassis and suspension design. It was a popular choice for drivers who sought a balance of affordability, practicality, and fun-to-drive characteristics. The 316i continues to be a desirable car for enthusiasts and collectors, offering a glimpse into the history of BMW's iconic 3 Series and a testament to the brand's enduring commitment to engineering excellence.
