Styled by Claus Luthe who had also been responsible for penning the NSU Ro80, the E30-generation of BMW’s long-running 3-Series has become a cult classic. Flagship of the launch range and only current from September 1982 until December 1986, the 323i was powered by a free-revving 2316cc SOHC six-cylinder engine that developed some 140bhp and 205Nm (later 150bhp). Weighing circa 1090kg, the 323i was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.7 seconds and 127mph.
Completed on July 9th 1984, chassis 7546245 was specified with the Comfort Package, Polaris Silver paintwork, Pacific Blue cloth upholstery, power steering, slide / tilt sunroof and light alloy wheels. Powered by a 2316cc M20 straight-six engine allied to automatic transmission, it was supplied new via Hexagon BMW of Highgate. First registered as ‘B33 WUC’ on September 1st 1984, the two-door saloon remained with its original owner until her death thirty-eight years later! Subject to a sympathetic programme of recommissioning and light restoration works since entering the current (and only second) ownership, the 323i is warranted to have covered a mere 69,000 miles (an average of 1,683 per annum). Treated to a new water pump and cambelt change during May 2023, the four-seater’s substantial history file encompasses numerous old MOTs and invoices all of which substantiate its odometer reading. Rated by the vendor as being in ‘very good’ condition with regards to its engine, automatic gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim, this highly original E30 is ULEZ exempt and eligible for ‘historic vehicle’ status. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and MOT certificate valid until June 2025.
