Description

Available!!
Exceptional condition

The BMW 316 we’re offering today isn’t just an old car: it’s a true trip back in time. Originating from the legendary BMW 3 Series E21, it embodies the early days of a lineage that has become an absolute benchmark at BMW.

But what makes this example simply exceptional is its mileage: only 23, 000 km from new. A level of preservation that is rarer-than-rare, making it an almost unique piece on today’s market. Every detail, every driving sensation plunges you back into the authentic atmosphere of the early 80s.

Behind the wheel, everything is pure: light rear-wheel drive, a smooth and reliable four-cylinder engine, and that direct mechanical feel that modern cars have gradually lost. Here, no filter — just the pleasure of driving, in its most sincere form.

Its timeless design, elegant lines and iconic visual signature make it a car that attracts stares as much as it tells a story. A story of automotive passion, German engineering and a driving art that has become rare today.

Whether you’re a collector, a youngtimer enthusiast or simply looking for a different model, this BMW 316 represents a unique opportunity: to acquire a preserved, authentic car, and charged with emotion.

A car to live with… and to pass on.
