1979 BMW E21 323i Manual – 78,000 Miles – Rare Six-Cylinder ClassicA rare opportunity to acquire a genuine BMW E21 323i manual, the flagship six-cylinder model of the original 3 Series and increasingly difficult to find in this condition.Finished in silver and showing approximately 78,000 miles, this is a very presentable, usable example of BMW's desirable 2.3-litre straight-six E21.The 323i was the performance model of the E21 range, combining BMW's six-cylinder engine with rear-wheel drive and, in this example, the much more desirable manual gearbox.The car has been garaged during my ownership and presents extremely well for a car approaching 50 years old. Importantly for an E21, the underside, sills and wheel arches are very clean.Highlights include:• Genuine 1979 BMW E21 323i• 2.3-litre straight-six engine• Manual gearbox• Approximately 78,000 miles• Silver exterior• Webasto-style sunroof• Period-style alloy wheels• Sports/bucket seats• Lowered suspension• Recently serviced• Recent brake work• Water pump replaced• MOT'd• Garaged during my ownership• Clean underside, sills and arches• BMW Owners Club connection/historyThe car appears to have been repainted at some point in its life and presents very well, although I do not have an invoice for the paintwork.As with many cars of this age, the history file is not complete, so I have priced the car accordingly rather than making claims that cannot be substantiated.This is not being presented as a concours, completely factory-original museum car. It is a very attractive, well-kept and highly usable E21 323i manual that can be enjoyed immediately.The combination of the 323i straight-six engine, manual transmission and classic E21 styling makes these cars increasingly sought after, particularly as good examples become harder to find.I have enjoyed owning the car, but it is now time for someone else to enjoy it.
