Just A Car Guy Blog: Baur TC2 "M" ??!!

Baurspotting got a plug on the "Just A Car Guy" blog over the weekend, so I thought I would return the favor.  Pretty cool blog, lots of BMW stuff, including a Baur TC2  with an "M" Badge that apparently was on the cover of Roundel Magazine in November 2009  (I think).  Check it out.

That is a pretty highly esteemed car blog, apparently.  Take a look at his sidebar:  Momma Mia!  Some great stuff there!


Whoa.... is that an "M" badge??!!  Anyone know anything about this car?

  2. Thank you for that info! I will try to check out the November 2009 Roundel, and perhaps we can add it to our growing list of Baurs in the media!

  3. The article is called "RARA AVIS' starting on page 62 on the November 2009 Roundel! Interesting enough, that is also the title of our E30 bimmerforums Baur thread.... only we named it in English rather than Latin. (Rara Avis is Latin for 'Rare Bird. Don't ask how I know.) ;)
    I am not sure if this link will work for anyone else .... since I had to access it using my subscription to Roundel:

    If you are a BMWCCA member you should be able to get to it with your own login, etc. Looks like a great article, btw.
