Before the M3 became a legend, the early E30s set the tone—compact, rear-wheel-drive coupes built with balance, poise, and driver engagement at their core. Among them, the 323i stood as a rare and coveted variant—marking the sweet spot between usability and spirited performance.

This particular example is a 1984 BMW E30 323i Coupe, finished in freshly repainted Alpine White I—a classic BMW shade that brings crisp contrast to its timeless silhouette. Period-correct Style 5 wheels by BBS sit under its arches, elevating its stance with a subtle touch of motorsport heritage.

Inside, the cabin is trimmed in full black—a rarer combination for early E30s—complemented by a factory M-Tech 1 steering wheel and original Recaro sport seats, a rare factory option for added support and style. A fully functioning sunroof adds a final touch of open-air versatility.

Powered by the original M20B23 inline-six mated with 5-speed manual gearbox, the 323i delivers smooth, naturally aspirated power through the rear wheels—true to BMW’s driver-first philosophy of the era.

With its clean presentation, correct details, and increasingly rare 323i designation, this E30 represents a significant chapter in BMW’s legacy. A pure expression of analogue driving—ready for the road, the collection, or both.
