1982 BMW 323i Baur

1982 BMW 323i Baur
Memorial Day 2010 First Drive 1982 323i BMW Baur Lapisblau M20 5 speed #4154 of 4595 made. The car was imported to California by Dietel Enterprises. I have since changed the wheels, installed the clear turn signal lenses, and I am in the process of installing a new cabriolet roof. I have to do something about those bumpers, too. :) I love this car! To see one of the reasons why, check my post "Score One For the Good Guys" on 6/26/2011.

The E21 Peters Convertible

There were several companies doing convertible conversions to the E21, in addition to Baur.  Fa Peters of Paderborn, Germany, according Jeroen's website, apparently made about 40 examples.

Nice...... but....

I found this comment from 2005.... I am not sure because the translation is so poor, but I think he is having a problem changing the center muffler, due to the apparatus that Peters installed to stiffen the frame.  Maybe that is why they didn't produce more.

Hello,

Was blocked by the "stiffening frame" the Peters under the floor pan, the thing goes neither forward nor backward raus.Die tank connected to the fender, we have also removed, but no Chance.Nach consultation with an acquaintance of with for over five years, Peters I had to learn the convertibles works he has verzweifelt.Er to the same problem and now even been expanded transmission drive shaft and still found no way to the center muffler abzubauen.Den on a piece of old could be so "by flexen" but how to get the new new items ?? times I have changed 2 years ago with a 320 / 6 Peters and medium saucepan, there was the all too easy!
For a few tips I would really appreciate.

While perusing obscure corners of the internet for info on the Peters convertible,  guess whose name I came across.... in a post from 2003!!   The ubiquitous Jeroen!!!  The guy is EVERYWHERE!!  :)   Gotta love it!  Incredible.
This post must date back to his teenage years, and before he started signing his posts "Gr Jeroen".
