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.

How many BMW Baur Cabrios left in the UK?

Thanks to Taner Salih for this info posted in Facebook today!


How many BMW Baur Cabrios left in the UK?


I am not quite sure how to interpret this info just yet, but I wanted to post it, in the hopes that others who understand it better than I, can perhaps help explain it to us.

UPDATE:  thanks to Taner Salih in Facebook.
Baurspotting: What is "SORN", for the benefit of those of us who don't speak the language. 

Taner Salih SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification). Which means the car has been declared off the road and is no longer being driver so is exempt from paying road tax.

Thanks for the explanation, Taner!

    E21 and E30 Baurs have a Baur plate number located on the car, either in the engine compartment near the fuse box (E21), or in the left door jamb near the door hinge. South African-built E30 Baurs do not have the Baur number. Where are you located? Please email a pic of your car and I can help you identify it.
