BMW 316, 318, 320 Series 3 - 4 Cylinder Cars Gold Portfolio 1975 - 1990

By: Brooklands Books .

Launched in July 1975, the first series of cars to bear this name were so enormously successful that they provided the financial bedrock on which the company was able to build throughtout the 1980s.
Tuning firms soon began to offer improved performance, which BMW later followed up with the 6-cylinder cars.

The second generation announced in 1982 had subtle changes to bring them up to date, but the major change was the introduction of four door models in 1983.

This is a book of road & comparison tests, new model introductions, buying secondhand, long term reports, specification and technical data.

Models covered include:
316, 318, 320, 320i, Alpina 320i, 318i, 320iS, 318i Turbo, 323i, 318i 4-door, 316 4-door, M3, M3 Evo, M3 Cabrio, 318i Touring and 318iS
