Rare Bird: E21 US Spec Baur For Sale--- 1 of 25 Imported to North America by BMW!

Thanks to our friend, David M.  for spotting this Rare Bird on Craigs List in LA!  This is Baur #4587, one of the only 25 US Spec Baurs imported to North America by BMW back in the day!  We have posted about it several times before, going back to when it was first spotted in Virginia in 2010. We were unable to locate it at that time, however, until it turned up 3 years later in California*.

This is an opportunity to own a piece of automotive history, folks, and one of the rarest Baurs in the world!  It appears to be in pretty good condition.
