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.

Rara Avis: Stefan Deceuninck's 325iX Baur! NEW FIND!

Thanks to Stefan Deceuninck for posting these pics of his super-rare 325ix Baur!  That's right:  an AWD Baur.  Very few made.....  only 114, I think..... and NONE came to the Western Hemisphere!  I would love to own one of these cars!  Baur number 8441.

Whoa! And it is NOT yet listed on the International Baur Registry, so it qualifies as a NEW FIND!  Wow!  I thought for sure this one would be already listed!  Congratulations, Stefan! 



Baur #8441.

Congratulations, Stefan!  Thank you for posting and welcome to Baurspotting!

OK, this is not a Baur, but ..... it's a 507, so I had to throw it in here anyway!  ;)  



That's right...... this BMW Z1 is a Baur!

A Georgia Peach! 1985 BMW 323i $8,400, Alpharetta Georgia!

1985 BMW 323i $8,400

Congratulations and welcome to Ted Rowe, who sent me this listing for his 1985 323i Baur, currently for sale in Alpharetta, GA.  Baur number is B43544-13, and since it is NOT listed in the International Baur Registry, it qualifies as a NEW FIND! 

Congrats, Ted!


Seller's comments:

This is actually a 2-owner 323i Baur TC2 factory convertible conversion. Extremely rare car---less than 20 imported into the US. Fully federalized with all EPA paperwork. M-Technic suspension and the 189hp Euro 2.3i motor. Extensive maintenance records. A rare collector car opportunity for the BMW enthusiast! Car is in good original shape. Needs some general maintenance (timing belt, tune up, etc). I just replaced the fuel pump and filter for $1100. Starts immediately and idles very smoothly, but can hesitate on acceleration. It also needs a new rear top--shouldn't be more than $800 or so. Otherwise, car is in excellent shape per the photos. Absolutely no rust on panels--chrome is in good shape. Car has always been covered and in a garage. All switches and lights in the car work! I have several other cars and this one doesn't get the love it deserves anymore. I have over 100 pages of records for the car and the original bill of sale from the dealer. I bought this car from the original owner in 1992.

N.B.  Autotrader doesn't recognize Euro models, so it will not let the seller post it as a 323i.  It is, in fact, a 323i, per Ted, the seller.  This is a common issue, btw.   For example, I had to register my 1982 323i Baur as a 320i with the State of Connecticut and my insurance company for the same reason.

Seller's Comments:
I offer here my BMW 501 Baroque Angel in the rare version as a 2-door convertible. It is one of about 50 special cars built by Baur in Stuttgart for BMW. The history is clearly understandable, there are Fiva and Deuvet passport and can be immediately rewritten to the new owner.

The vehicle was originally green with green roof and was equipped by the first owner in 1967 with brake booster and hazard warning lights. It also got the more powerful 95 hp V8 engine and the fenders of the 502 (front with fog lights, rear with the larger taillights).

From the 2nd owner of the BMW was completely restored from 1979 to 1982. In this course, a very fine color combination was chosen: The exterior paint is since silver-metallic, the dashboard is painted blue. For this purpose, the hood was chosen in dark blue and the interior leather also in dark blue.

The BMW was driven by me regularly in the last 2 years. Since then, the battery and the antenna have been renewed and a contemporary radio (with aux connection) installed.

There is a Classic Data appraisal report from 2016 with the grade 2+ over 247,500 euros.

Ich biete hier meinen BMW 501 Barockengel in der seltenen Ausführung als 2-türiges Cabriolet an. Es handelt sich um eines von ca. 50 Sonderkarossen, die die Firma Baur in Stuttgart für BMW gebaut hat. Die Historie ist klar nachvollziehbar, es liegen Fiva- und Deuvet-Pass vor und können sofort auf den neuen Eigentümer umgeschrieben werden.

Das Fahrzeug war ursprünglich grün mit grünem Verdeck und wurde vom Erstbesitzer 1967 mit Bremkraftverstärker und Warnblinkanlage ausgestattet. Außerdem erhielt es den stärkeren V 8 Motor mit 95 PS und die Kotflügel des 502 (vorne mit Nebelscheinwerfern, hinten mit den größeren Rücklichtern).

Vom 2. Besitzer wurde der BMW von 1979 bis 1982 komplett restauriert. In diesem Zuge wurde auch eine sehr edle Farbkombination gewählt: Die Außenlackierung ist seitdem Silber-Metallic, das Amaturenbrett ist blau lackiert. Dazu wurde das Verdeck in Dunkelblau gewählt und die Innenausstattung Leder ebenfalls in Dunkelblau.

Der BMW wurde von mir in den letzten 2 Jahren regelmäßig gefahren. Seitdem wurden die Batterie und die Antenne erneuert sowie ein zeitgenössisches Radio (mit Aux-Anschluss) eingebaut.

Es liegt ein Classic Data Wertgutachten aus dem Jahre 2016 mit der Note 2+ über 247.500 Euro vor.
