The Original: The BMW 318 (E21)

The BMW 318 (E21) is a fascinating piece of automotive history that dates back to the 1970s. This generation, produced from 1975 to 1983, marked the beginning of BMW's 3 Series and replaced the BMW 02 Series. The E21 was the first vehicle of the brand to bear the now iconic model designation "3 Series" and truly kick-started the modern sports sedan era. The designer of the E21 was Paul Bracq, a renowned car designer highly respected for his work at BMW.

This modelcar in the collection of BroDiecast is one of currently 30.069 registered models on Modelly!

Technical Data and Special Features of the BMW 318 (E21)

The BMW 318 (E21) was equipped with a four-cylinder in-line engine producing 90 horsepower. It had a displacement of 1.8 liters and reached a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph). The car was renowned for its excellent handling and driving dynamics, setting the standard for compact executive sports sedans. The introduction of the E21 also brought the now legendary Hofmeister kink in the C-pillar, a design element that can still be found in BMW vehicles today. In the year of its introduction in 1975, significant historical events such as the fall of Saigon and the release of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" occurred, reflecting the cultural atmosphere of that time.
