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.

Can You Identify This Car: a Baur-type, but yet not a Baur! What is it? :)

Here is an unusual find by our friend Adolf Marcinkowsky today. It appears to be a "Baur-type" cabrio,

 but it is different from the Baur. Check out the "C" pillar.... it is not a Baur.  Or IS it?  If not a Baur, then 

 ... what IS it,


 Notice the "C" pillar is body-colored, and thicker than a Baur C pillar.  Could that be a piece added to help seal the convertible roof?


Does anyone know this car, or can anyone shed any light on it?  All input is welcome!

Thanks for posting, Adolf Marcinkowsky!  

Stay tuned!

Early TC1 Baur Spotted Near Budapest! Nice Find, Kerekes! ;)

Thanks to our friend, Kerekes Ferenc, for spotting this early Baur at the Oldtimers Show near Budapest the other day.  Here is Kerekes' message:

'Hello Tom, it was at Oldtimer car / airplane event at Budaörs airport (near Budapest). I had a short conversation with the

owner. The car is from 1978, and it had been imported from Germany. Licence plate starts with OT, meaning it is 

classified / registered oldtimer car."


Check out that low Baur number:  000054!  This is a very early example!























Great job on the pics!  You really stayed with that Baur!  ;)  

Thank you for sending, Kerekes!
