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.

Terry Sayther's Red Cabrio Targa For Sale in Texas!

In a post in Facebook today, Terry Sayther mentioned that he has a couple of cars for sale, including two Baurs;  this Cabrio Targa, and a 1600 Voll Cabrio.

(see http://baurspotting.blogspot.com/2016/04/terry-saythers-1969-bmw-1600-voll.html)

Here is the Cabrio Targa, a 1975 2002.   I love the write up Terry did on this Cabrio Targa, so I have included it here in its entirety!  Nothing more needs to be said!

Baurspotting has featured Terry Sayther's Baurs before, btw*.

1975 Baur Bodied BMW Targa Cabriolet
Hi-perf Euro Engine, 5-speed Trans, Big Brakes, Injection
Overview
"I like unusual BMWs and the Baur Targa Cabrio 2002 certainly fits that category. The Targa is the best car for driving in Texas, in my opinion. I can drop the rear folding top with one arm from the driver’s seat and still have shade from the fixed roof. This car has fuel injection from an ’85 318i and the high energy ignition from the same car—it gets gret gas mileage, always starts, wonderful throttle response, and good power. We installed big brakes, Bilsteins, and bigger sway bars—this car is my favorite car to drive!
Rare Factory Baur Targa ConvertibleThis car is a rare factory Targa Cabriolet. Made for BMW in the BAUR factory, it has a hard top over the driver and front seat passenger. That cover comes off and stows in special brackets in the trunk. It also has a folding soft top over the back seat area—the driver just reaches one hand back to lower it at any speed.It as a very powerful 2 liter M10 engine–normal for 2002s but with higher compression for better performance. We have installed a 5-speed overdrive trans because BMW should have; we have installed bigger brakes front and rear, Bilstein shocks all the way around, bigger sway bars, a front air dam, fancy wheels, and more.This is my personal car—my favorite car to drive of all my cars. It does have some rust and, though I love the color, the paint is bad. The car was originally golf yellow.The Targa is the best of both worlds—open and closed. Someone will get one of the loves of my life by buying this car for $25k or near offer.To arrange delivery email terndeb@saytherauto.com, do NOT call to chat".

Terry Sayther's 1969 BMW 1600 Voll Cabrio For Sale!

Terry Sayther's 1969 BMW 1600 Full Cabriolet
In a post in Facebook today, Terry Sayther mentioned that he has a couple of cars for sale, including two Baurs;  a Cabrio Targa, and this 1600 Voll Cabrio.

Baurspotting has featured Terry Sayther's Baurs before, btw*.  We knew that Terry and Deb have two Cabrio Targas (the red one which we posted about today also, and a white "M2"--- see links below), but we did not know about this Voll Cabrio!  



Terry's comments:
This car is a complete full convertible 1600. It is California titled, but has some rocker panel rust. Surprisingly, the rest of the car is solid—turn signal area, spare tire well, other notorious areas are pretty solid. Shock mounts front and rear look great.
We haven’t had time to work on this car, and don’t know much about the details. Engine and body numbers DO match.
Full convertibles are very rare—only about 1200 were made with the 1600cc engine, I believe. The odometer indicates 138k kilometers and it has been sitting for over 20 years. The engine supposedly runs. The car was originally white and now has bad red paint. Interior complete, but dash has cracks. Buy it now for $28k or near offer
Arrange for more information—email terndeb@saytherauto.com. Do NOT call to chat.
