BMW 3 Series Sedan (E21)

The new BMW 3 Series was launched - as the successor to the 02 model series - only in a single bodywork style: as a two-door sedan. The styling followed the new line of Chief Designer Paul Bracq which had already been applied to the BMW 5 Series. Nevertheless, the BMW 3 Series Sedan is an independent vehicle with compact dimensions and a sporty character. The first BMW 3 Series was marketed in four-cylinder and six-cylinder versions from 1977-1982. From 1983, automotive coachbuilder Baur in Stuttgart offered a Topcabriolet convertible that was marketed through the BMW dealer network.
