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.

BMW Advertisement Circa 1965

Thanks to Baur Eta for posting this 1965 advertisement in Facebook today.

This ad may have contributed to the confusion around the origin of the BMW Roundel.    Lots of folks have believed that roundel was based on an airplane propeller image, but in fact, the Roundel (circa 1917) preceded the propeller image (circa 1929) by about 12 years.

Here is a discussion of the issue:
