Highlights Handsome and charming classic 3 Series Excellent starter classic Presents well Low mileage Manual gearbox Overview There are few more positive indicators as to a car's popularity and indeed quality than that of longevity and the BMW 3 Series is a case in point.
Breaking cover in 1975, it's still being made today and BMW's general ethos behind the model has remained remarkably consistent for the past 50 years.
Simply put it has always been a well-designed and well-built compact executive car.
The first iteration of the 3 Series, the two-door coupe E21, was built as a replacement for the ageing (but still brilliant) 02 Series.
Elegantly designed by Paul Bracq it exuded a much more modern aesthetic and was available with either a four or six-cylinder engine of varying capacities, both inline.
It was a huge hit for BMW, ushering in, as it did, one of the German giant's most popular ranges and remains a beloved model for classic car enthusiasts to this day.
