The 3 series two-door was introduced to Europe in 1975 in the wake of the oil embargo. Combining fuel-stingy frugality with good performance, it quickly won a following, outselling its 2002 predecessor by nearly 40,000 units. In 1977 it was introduced to the U.S. market. By 1978, sales had reached 320,000.
The only model offered for sale during this period in the U.S. was the 320i. Kin to the 2002 in both styling and mechanicals, the 320i nevertheless offered a number of refinements, including an improved suspension and a longer wheelbase for more stability. While the 2002 handled well, the new 320i displayed a sense of reassuring confidence that was easier for some American drivers to embrace.
