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.

Baur History: Chronological Chart


I found this page a couple of months ago.  Lots of great material here, including a chart of the Baur company history.  The site is actively interested in any information about Baurs, especially any pictures of the models listed below.  Great stuff for students of automobile history, like myself.
