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.

Presenting: Restored E21 Baur 4593!

Thanks to my friend, Andreas T. of Belgium, for these wonderful pics of the restoration that he did on Baur #4593 for Frits L.  This is Baur #4593 out of a total of 4595 that were built, so this is one of the last of the breed!


This post is long overdue, btw, and I apologize to Andreas and Frits for not getting it posted sooner.  It has been a hectic month!  Mea culpa.  :)

Here is the finished product on display.  Gorgeous.  E21 Baur #4593.


But it didn't ALWAYS look this stunning!  ;)  It needed a bit of work.  
As you can see.  

And that is where my friend, Andreas, comes in.  You might recall that Andreas is the owner of Baur #000001 and Baur #004595, the very first and last E21 Baurs.  We have featured Andreas and his work in Baurspotting before.
