This particular 320's modifications were inspired by the legendary BMW 323i, the top of line model of the five three series models offered by BMW AG. It was equipped with the most powerful six cylinder offered, a 2.3 liter M20 and included as standard equipment, dual exhaust with a sport suspension.

Power is transferred to the wheels with a short-throw 4-speed transmission mated to a 391 limited slip rear differential.

With great power to weight ratio this car is an excellent candidate for high performance drivers school, auto-X, weekend toy or it can be very suitable for a daily driver.
