1979 BMW 320IA

This 1979 BMW 320I boasts a dark blue exterior complemented by a tan interior. With just over 108k original miles, this BMW is in remarkable condition. Powered by a 4-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox, it offers an exhilarating driving experience. Not only does this BMW impress inside and out, but it also includes its original manuals and a comprehensive service history folder, a rarity for BMWs of this era.

The BMW E21 serves as the platform designation for the first BMW 3 Series sold in the U.S. from 1977 to 1983, succeeding the iconic BMW 2002. These two-door sports sedans propelled BMW’s sales in the late 1970s in the U.S., with the 320i emerging as BMW’s first high-volume car in America. While the 2002 established BMW in the sports sedan segment, the 320i contributed to BMW’s national recognition. The cockpit design of the 320i introduced a new design concept, featuring a driver-centric angled center console that became a staple of BMW’s interior design philosophy for years to come. Notable for its passive safety features, all edges and controls within the interior were rounded and padded.

Powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine equipped with Bosch K Jetronic fuel injection, the 320i delivers 110 hp on premium-grade gasoline. Its suspension includes rack and pinion steering, McPherson strut suspension at the front, and semi-trailing arm type independent suspension at the rear.
