BMW and Herbert Hartge wouldn’t mind us affectionately dubbing this beauty as “THE GOAT” because, truthfully, this BMW truly lives up to that moniker. In 1971, Herbert Hartge laid the foundation of his eponymous company, specializing in enhancing BMW cars. Over time, Hartge earned recognition as a standalone car manufacturer, allowing them to designate their creations as Hartge products rather than modified BMWs. Our 1988 model, known as the “GOAT,” showcases Hartge’s prowess.
Let’s delve into how Hartge meticulously refined this BMW. The H23 model closely resembled the modified 323i Alpina C1 2.3. Taking the 170hp 2.3-liter engine as a base, Hartge adopted similar enhancements used by Alpina, incorporating an improved camshaft, a forged piston-equipped cylinder head for higher compression. After undergoing a significant transformation, this vehicle ceased to be ordinary; it now stands as an extraordinary marvel in every aspect.
The BMW Hartge H23 stands as one of the most remarkable creations; it’s nothing short of spectacular. Nestled within the engine bay lies a powerhouse of an engine paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. Turn the key, and you’re met with an awe-inspiring surge of power. The interior is not just exceptional but also retains its original charm.
