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.

Eric P. Spots Two Baurs in Colombia Collection Featured in Petrolicious!

Thanks to our old friend from E21 Bimmerforums, Eric P., for spotting these Baurs in this Petrolicious article* about an unusual car collection in Colombia.  Check out the article from the link below!
The first is this pic of the Baur badge on the B pillar.  That badge was used on the E30 TC2 Baurs, and it is different from the Baur badge on the E21 TC1 Baurs.  But that is all we see of the car, unfortunately, unless I missed something!  Such a tease!  ;) 

Here we see a different Baur:  this one is an E21.  
Although the Baur badge is not visible on the car above, here is an example of what the E21 TC1 Baur badge looks like: 
You can see that it is quite different from the later TC2 version.  There is some more information on some of the differences between the early and later Baurs here:

Check out the article here, lots of car pics and an interesting story behind the collection.
