The BMW 3 Series (E21) is a compact executive car that was produced by BMW from 1975 to 1983. It was the first generation of the 3 Series, and it was a significant departure from the previous BMW 1800/2000 models, introducing a new platform and a more modern design. The E21 was available in various body styles, including a 2-door saloon (sedan), a 2-door coupé, and a 4-door sedan, known as the "3 Series Compact" for the German market. It was known for its sporty handling and performance, thanks to its balanced weight distribution and well-engineered chassis.

The E21 was powered by a range of four-cylinder petrol engines, starting with the 1.6-liter M10 engine in the 316 model. The range also included the 318 with a larger 1.8-liter engine, the 320 with a 2.0-liter engine, and the performance-oriented 323i with a 2.3-liter engine. Some markets also received limited-production models such as the 320/6 and 323i/6 with six-cylinder engines. The E21's success can be attributed to its combination of practicality, sportiness, and affordability, which made it a popular choice among both young drivers and professional buyers. It was also a pioneer in the compact executive car segment, setting a trend for future BMW models. The E21 remains a highly sought-after classic car today, appreciated for its timeless design and driving experience.
