The BMW 320/323 E21, affectionately dubbed the "New Six," marked a pivotal chapter in BMW's history, ushering in a new era of compact luxury and performance. Introduced in 1975, the E21 replaced the aging 02 series, offering a more refined and spacious driving experience while retaining the brand's signature driving dynamics. Its sporty character was evident in its sharp lines, sloping roofline, and low-slung silhouette, further accentuated by a range of powerful four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines. The 320, powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, provided a balanced blend of efficiency and performance, while the 323, equipped with a 2.3-liter four-cylinder, delivered a more spirited drive.

The E21 was engineered to be both practical and engaging, offering a comfortable and well-appointed interior with features such as a spacious cabin, a high-quality dashboard, and an array of options that included power windows, a sunroof, and a cassette player. Despite its compact dimensions, the E21 was surprisingly spacious, with ample legroom for both front and rear passengers. The E21's handling was praised for its responsive nature and sharp steering, making it an enjoyable car to drive on winding roads. This combination of practicality, performance, and affordability made the E21 an immediate success, establishing the 3 Series as a cornerstone of BMW's model lineup and earning a devoted following among enthusiasts. The E21's legacy continues to this day, with its classic styling and timeless performance making it a sought-after collector's item.
