BMW E36 Compact 323 ti

The compact BMW E36 is the big sister of the 1 Series. It takes the style and chassis of the 3 Series but with a very different look. Only sold in a 3-door configuration, this sedan "hatchback" is identifiable with its tailgate which replaces the traditional trunk. The "small E36" was launched on the market in order to counter the many "compact" models that were commercialised in number during the 90s. This 323ti version is the most powerful produced of the E36 Compact. Marketed in 1997, it has 170 horsepower, 30 more than the 318ti.
