The BMW 323, produced from 1975 to 1984, represents a significant chapter in the iconic Bavarian automaker's history. This model marked the arrival of the second generation of the BMW 3 Series, a series that would go on to become one of the world's most popular and successful compact executive cars. The 323, initially marketed as the "New Six" was a departure from its predecessor, the E12, in terms of both styling and engineering. The E21, as it was internally designated, featured a more modern and aerodynamic design, with a distinctive sloping roofline and sharp lines. Beneath the skin, the 323 was built on a new platform with rack and pinion steering, independent front and rear suspension, and a MacPherson strut design for the front suspension. The 323 was initially available in two engine options: a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine (known as the M10) and a 2.3-liter, six-cylinder engine (known as the M20). With the six-cylinder engine, the 323i model was introduced, offering a more powerful and refined driving experience. The BMW 323 and 323i offered a blend of sportiness and practicality, appealing to motorists seeking a car with a dynamic driving experience, combined with a comfortable and well-appointed interior. The 323i, in particular, garnered a reputation for its smooth and powerful engine, precise handling, and responsive steering. The model's success was further fueled by its enduring quality and reliability, characteristics that solidified the BMW 3 Series' position as a premium compact car. The 323 and 323i were available in various body styles, including a two-door coupe and a four-door sedan. The BMW 323, despite its production ending in 1984, remains an important part of BMW's legacy. It was a pivotal model for the company, laying the foundation for the future success of the 3 Series and establishing BMW's reputation as a manufacturer of high-performance, luxury automobiles. The 323 and 323i continue to be popular choices among enthusiasts and collectors, representing a classic chapter in the history of BMW.
