The BMW 316, produced from 1987 to 1991, represents a significant milestone in the history of BMW's iconic 3 Series. This compact executive car, known for its sporty handling and refined driving experience, was originally intended to be an entry-level model for the 3 Series lineup. The 316 was available in both sedan and touring (wagon) body styles, offering a practical and stylish option for drivers who desired a more affordable and fuel-efficient approach to BMW ownership. At its heart, the 316 was powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 90 horsepower and 120 Nm of torque. While not as powerful as the more potent 325i and 325iX models of the time, the 316 still provided a lively and engaging driving experience. It was paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic, with rear-wheel drive as the standard setup. The 316's relatively lightweight design, coupled with its responsive engine and precise handling, created a car that was both fun to drive and practical for daily use. Despite its modest power output, the 316 provided a comfortable and refined ride, thanks in part to its well-tuned suspension and well-insulated cabin. Its compact size and relatively narrow dimensions made it nimble and easy to maneuver in urban environments, while its practicality and spacious interior made it suitable for a wider range of driving needs.
