The E21 was built on the success of the '2002' and manufactured with styling from the larger 5 series.

Ergonomics for the driver was exceptional for the time, with its cleverly thought out switchgear and clearly laid out instruments.

The styling of the car was timeless, and even 47 years later the E21 looks so great.

Many E21 haven't survived due to the tendency to rot in harsh weather, however, many cherished examples like this one are beginning to see the light of day.

The E21 has a cult following for their boxy good looks and lively performance making them extremely fun to get behind the wheel.

This example is coming to market from 18 years ownership, it has clearly been taken care of and presents beautifully.

Finished in the desirable "Baltic Blue Metallic" paintwork over grey cloth seats this being a later 316 comes with the 1.8L engine.
