Technical Details and Special Features of the BMW E21

The BMW E21 323i was the top model of the series, equipped with a 2.3-liter inline-six engine producing 143 horsepower (105 kW). This power was supported by an electronic fuel injection system (Bosch K-Jetronic), a technical detail that made the E21 stand out at the time. Many technological innovations were integrated into production as early as the 1970s. The designer of the vehicle, Paul Bracq, opted for a sleek and yet moderate design, emphasizing the sporty character of the vehicle. Due to these technical features and appealing design, the BMW E21 was highly regarded not only by private buyers but also in the automotive industry. In 1981, when the 323i was introduced, significant events such as the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II and the release of the album "Tattoo You" by the Rolling Stones were making headlines.
