History
The 323i served as the flagship of the E30 fleet at the model's 1982 launch.
Technical
A very small number of 323i Sport models were produced. Rather than being a specific model, these were standard 323i's with a sports package that offered a dog-leg gearbox with closer ratios. Unlike any other E30 unit, these gearboxes did not have an overdriven final gear - fifth was a direct drive, which necessitate a much lower ratio differential to compensate.
