Description of 1984 BMW 3-Series Sport Coupe European Model

1984 BMW E30 323i with 5-speed sport manual transmission. This European top-of-the-line model for 1984 has 54,000 actual miles with high-performance options. Proper documentation of everything. It was produced on September 3, 1984, sold by Kohl Automobile in Aachen, Germany on October 16, 1984, and imported by the original purchaser who owned it more than 30 years. While the e30 323i was never imported by BMW to North America, this car is legal to drive in the U.S. and Canada and has all-European equipment including nearly every factory option available.


The 323i is considered the predecessor to the venerable M3 introduced in 1986. Drives and handles beautifully, you will never find a finer example of this rare but practical BMW.

It has the original numbers matching 2.3-liter BMW M20 inline six motor with Bosch fuel injection delivering 148 horsepower. Although suited for the track and autocross, this 323i has been lovingly cared for, never raced and is very original. Parts are readily available with modern reliability and drivability. A new timing belt and water pump have been recently installed, so it can be driven anywhere with outstanding gas mileage. Receipts and a full service history provided to the new owner.

Factory options include a five speed sport manual transmission, black leatherette Recaro multi-adjustable sport seats (S481A), limited-slip differential (S209A), front and rear spoilers (S234A), a 380 mm sport leather steering wheel (S219A), power windows (S410A), power inward sliding sunroof with tilt-up feature (S401A), heated power side mirrors and rear window (S311), vented rear windows (S361A), air conditioning (S530A), and cruise control (S540A). A complete description of all options is below.


The interior is like new and the paint is glossy with only a few slight imperfections on very close inspection.

An original Alpine 7146 premium stereo system works great with a Alpine 3311 pre-amp 7 band equalizer. A correct Alpine anti-theft system is behind the parking brake, but has been disabled.

Bottle cap rims with newer tires have 95% of the tread left. Also included, is a set of factory BMW steel rims with original Continental tires (perfect for car shows).


The original factory deleted model emblem and spoiler for the trunk are included, but not mounted.

It comes with two sets of keys, original documentation, manuals and sales brochures from the time of purchase in German and English, maintenance documentation and the BMW build sheet for this 323i.

Starts right up, runs shifts very smoothly, inspections welcomed and encouraged, you will not be disappointed.

To answer numerous questions, the seats adjust well in all positions. There are no warning lights. The Carfax for the vehicle shows the same information as the eBay history report, the original owner who imported it owned it until 1997 when it was sold through his estate, all documentation comes with the car along with receipts for the water pump, timing belt and tune up all professionally done within the past year. We would not hesitate to drive this cross country anytime. We will send video of it running to folks who send their email.
