Dedicated to the BMW Baur TC1 (E21 1975-83) in particular, and Baur cabriolets in general. We hope to locate and identify all the BMW Baur TC1s in existence in the United States at the present time.
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.

"Engine gearbox top runs smoothly. 1.Hand original 69000 km cockpit is also very well maintained ....... the vehicle must be picked up after 7 days later commanded. . The Fzg can be viewed prior to purchase, I recommend to avoid any misunderstandings. The vehicle is as Bastlerfahrzeug - faulty - not completely sold. This is a private sale without warranty or guarantee, and renegotiations or return rights. The Fzg must be paid for and collected in cash within 7 days. Who does not agree with this, please do not bid."
Sounds like it is a project. Notice the red inner fenders in the engine compartment, while the rest of the car appears green. Caveat Emptor!

We have seen this one before.... $1200...make an offer and steal this car! Thanks to Roger Alan Auerbach for this post in Facebook tonight!
I have a neat, rare BMW for sale. It's a 323i TC Baur. Before BMW started making 3 series convertibles, you could buy one converted by Baur in Germany then have it imported into the US. As such, it's a grey market car with all the euro goodies that BMW had to offer in 1984. These cars are rare and getting much more difficult to find. This is only the second one I've seen in my life.
I've owned the car for about 3.5 years. Since it was imported it's been a Colorado vehicle. I've got receipts for this car for the past couple decades! I bought the car in fairly poor condition and sadly, I've not done anything to it. I'm tired of it taking up space in my garage and I would like a place to park my truck this winter!
Info about the car: - 1984 BMW 323i TC Baur (that's a mouthful! The 323 engine was the performance model for 1984 and is very similar to the 325 of that era). - The top is two pieces. There is a center targa portion like a Honda Del Sol that stores in the trunk, then the back part folds down like a regular convertible. All the framework around the doors remain in tact once the top is folded down. - Has all the euro goodies that was available at the time! - Silver with blue interior (yay 80s!) - 188k miles - 5spd - The car is water tight and can be stored outside. - Clear title! Not salvage.
Things that are bad or that the car needs: - Currently not running. - Needs a battery - Will overheat after a few minutes. I think the thermostat is not opening, but I haven't looked into it. - Leaks oil from the oil pan. I have a new gasket for it but haven't done anything with it. - No stereo. - Cracked dash and windshield. - Interior isn't in the best shape. - Misc scratches and dings around the car.
This car will need to be towed away. It can be jumped and driven onto a trailer. All the tires hold air and I've only had to refill them once since I've owned it.
As you can see, this car isn't perfect. I bought it because of how rare it was and had ambitions to restore / mod the car. I haven't touched it in 3.5 years! It's time to face the reality that I probably won't get around to working on this car. I'm looking to sell the car for $1200. I am pretty firm on the price. It's a pretty cool little car that just needs a weekend of love to be a great runner! If you feel the need to email with ridiculous "cash" offers (really? How else were you planning on paying?) please save you and me some grief. I'm just looking to sell the car outright and am not interested in trades or payments. If you're serious about owning a cool piece of BMW history please email me with you questions and / or phone number to schedule a time to see this car. Thanks for looking!

Thanks to Baur Targa owner Mike P. in NC for the heads up on this eBay ad for Terry S's red Baur Cabrio Targa. We have shown this car here in Baurspotting before, along with Terry's other Baur Targa, a white M2!
"Rare 1974 BMW 2002 Baur with Motronic ('84 318i) fuel injection. Headers, Big Brakes, Sway Bars, and Bilstein HD shocks, 5-speed Transmission, Kosei wheels. This car runs fabulously in cold or hot conditions. The fuel injection upgrade was done to improve performance AND reliability whilst still retaining a vintage look beneath the hood. The braking and handling are qualities these cars are known for even BEFORE they are upgraded. This car was recently seen in the Texas hill country in the company of several other 2002's including two other Baurs. The car performed perfectly over the three day event covering several hundred miles. You can bid with confidence that this charmer will turn heads as you head across the country with the tops open and your hair in the wind."
Seller Notes:
“This car was originally Golf. (yellow) The maroonish repaint is imperfect and exposes some of the original color in various areas. The rear plastic window is in very good condition but there are a couple blemishes on the canvas top. The car is in mechanically excellent condition. Some rust exists on this car. The driver floor around the pedal box was the worst, the rusted area was cut out and a new panel was formed and welded into place. The photos should offer a comprehensive but in no way complete depiction of the condition of the car. There is no such thing as a rust free car and this one is no exception. Keep that in mind as you bid on this or any other vintage car.”

Thanks to Uwe H., from the OTHER side of the Pond, who sent me this link to a Baur spotted on THIS side of the Pond! What a world! :)
* Rare Top Configuration - Incredibly Well-Kept - Stock & Unmodified * Very Drivable - Great entry-level Bavarian Collectible * Cult like following and rarity - Factory fitted 2.0L I6
Grandfather to one of the most successful sports car models, the E21 paved the way for the modern BMW "Series" of today. BMW E21 is the body designation for the first BMW 3 Series compact executive car, produced from 1975 to 1983. This series was the immediate successor to the BMW 2002 and was superseded by the BMW E30. A cabriolet conversion was offered by Karosserie Baur GmbH in 1978, based on regular E21 models. The cabriolet conversion was composed of a targa roof and an independent rear soft-top - examples were sold via the BMW dealership network.
With few examples of the Baur Top Cabriolet produced for the European market, it is unknown how many units actually made it to the U.S. - coupled with a low survival rate of preserved cars, open-air 320s have become quite the rare find. Offered here is a very original and correct example finished in silver paintwork over black corduroy and vinyl cabin appointments.
Recently acquired from a very well-known and much respected BMW collection. The 320's preservation comes as a result of careful former stewardship. The exterior paint appears to have been reapplied years ago, all upholstery and weather equipment have held up very well and present nicely. The car's exterior trim, wheels, European bumpers, side glass and lenses are original as is the vast majority of this Baur, including the solid floor pans and factory pinch welds. Both bays are very tidy, while the front stores an original spare, jack and tools.
Mechanically, the BMW is quite sound and responsive, shifting is direct - all equipment is correct, without performance modifications. Comparable examples of these particular cars are few and far between - Ideal for all around enjoyment, or just a great piece for the avid Bavarian collector as the E20 represents the essence of the modern BMW marque.

This has got to be one of the most desirable, if not THE most desirable, Baurs in the world! Baurspotting's hat is off to the beautiful job that the inestimable Ron Perry has done with this Baur. It is just gorgeous.
OK, I am biased.
1) I love the E21.
2) I love the E21 in white.
3) I love Baurs.
4) I love the work that Ron Perry does. The CSL he did recently was featured in Bimmer Magazine!
5) I love this car.
OK, so much for full disclosure. Other than the above, I am a completely objective, cold-blooded 'killah' when it comes to evaluating this car. Did I mention that I love it?
;)
Just buy the damn thing. You are gonna love it! This is one of 90 E21 Baurs that we have found in the US. It is arguably the BEST one. One of the rarest BMWs in the US, restored by Ron Perry. Yeah, Ron Perry! The Baur Top Cabriolet styling is a unique historical artifact: it tells a story. An E30 Baur has just been added to the one of the largest Automobile Museum Car Collections in the United States.
Its rare.
It was restored to a VERY high standard by Ron Perry.
It is an historical artifact, a car whose unique styling was in direct response to an historical phenomenon: an anticipated ban by many governments, including the US, on convertibles due to a perceived safety risk. Hence, the Baurs have a built-in roll bar.
It is a convertible, an EXTREMELY rare bird in 1979. You can look it up!
It is a flat-out blast to drive.
I do believe that it is destined to become a collectible.
If it gets any better than that......
.....it doesn't. Buy this car. Trust me on that. ;)
Here is the listing, in Ron Perry's own words:
1979 BMW 3-Series Baur Alpina tribute
1979 BMW 320/6 Baur Cabriolet Alpina C1 2.3 Tribute
I bought this car in February of this year as a rolling shell. Originally a 320/6 it came with four wheels and a really nice paint job. I had a blank canvas with a really low mileage car. My first thought was to but an M30B35 in it, but received a call from a good friend that was selling his e28 with a 2.7 stroker motor in it and decided since he only had about 5k miles on it, that it would be a great power plant for my project and I wouldn't have to re-invent the wheel. It took a bit to go from carbs to Motronic, but got away with a really clean job. We were even able to use the air box holder and welded it to the e21 chassis for a really clean look. The exhaust starts with Ireland Engineering headers to e28 down pipes, to an e21 323i center muffler and then all stock 323i pipes and mufflers (all NOS!). For the exterior, I purchased all NOS new tops and header, all new window rubber, and all new window trim (someone had attempted to fake shadowline the old stuff and just made a mess!)-not an easy job, either. Aftermarket Alpina Deko Set, aftermarket Alpina style front spoiler, and a Zender rear spoiler. All new NOS rubber was added to the soft top and hard top. Now on to the suspension...while the car was on the lift, I removed all of the suspension and sent the following to be powder coated: Front and rear sub frames, new Ireland sway bars (in red), swing arms, fuel tanks, strut housings. Everything was then re-assembled with all new bearings, struts, shocks, fresh cadium plated hardware. All driven to a 3:46 Limited Slip diff. I did use the original rack, but added new boots. Completely rebuilt half shafts too with all new bearings and cadium plated hardware. For the wheels and tires, I was able to source a set of Ronal Alpina wheels 6&7x15" with all new tires. For the interior, I used a set of Recaro front seats and covered both front and rear with aftermarket Alpina style cloth (please DO NOT ask me where to source this as I will not tell you). I found a correct dash and it had one tiny crack by the front windshield, so I had it sent out to be re-covered in leather. Sent out the instrument cluster to have the correct Alpina fonts and the needles painted. I also found a period correct center console with cassette holders! The rest of what was added, including fresh door panels and rear parcel shelf are all visible in the photos. The only thing I forgot to add was the rebuilt close ratio (dogleg) transmission which coupled with the motor and the rear end, makes this car just a kick in the pants to drive. I have not run the car on the dyno, but I also have a real e30 Alpina B6 2.8 with 218hp (rated) and this car is much quicker! This is like a new car from top to bottom and no expense was spared in the build!!!!

Another ad I just stumbled across tonight on the Gumtree site in Australia. I can't tell if it is still active, but I assume that it is, since it is still posted.
1985 BMW 325i Baur Convertible Pink Slip 6mths
PROJECT Parts
$2,000.00
Warren Road, Marrickville NSW 2204
Here is the text with the ad:
Hi,
Up for sale is my 1985 BMW 325i Baur Convertible Coupe. This is a rare car - BMW body and Baur Carriage Makers Convertible roof with lift-out Targa top and fold down back. It is an automatic and has the 2.5L straight 6 engine under the hood with Bosch LE-Jetronic fuel injection. Extremely rare to find a 325i Baur in Australia - usually 1.8 or 2.3.
Currently the car is NOT RUNNING. It has an issue with the ECU generating injector pulse that has recently come about. The issue is intermittent and sometimes it will run. I have done extensive testing and it appears that just the ECU needs to be replaced. These are approx. $150 from wreckers. I would source one but have massively lost interest in the car (currently working on my Datsun).
Features: Half a tank of premium petrol 6 months pink slip - just buy insurance and register (no need for inspection) Rebuilt transmission in last 7000km Timing belt, water pump, crank seals done last 7000km New Behr Hella radiator last 500km New fuel pumps (in-tank and in-line) last 100km All original BMW mag rims (spare in boot in mint condition) Great tyres Engine mounts done last 7000km Air flow meter recalibrated last 500km New main relay (ECU, fuel pumps, starter) Recent respray (a bit rough but looks good overall) Starter strong
Call for further details
There are links in the ad to a phone number and an email. Let us know what you find!

Thanks to THEPOOLEMAN for this link to a TC2 Baur on ebay.
1983 BMW 3-Series
1983 BMW E30 323i Baur convertible 5spd A/C OBC PS Cruise Targa top Zender
1983 TC Baur 323i.
Car was originally imported to Cincinnati Ohio in 1985 where it was federalized by a company called Bavarian Motors.
I purchased this car with a blown motor in 2007. It had thrown a rod on the original 2.3L M20 L-Jetronic engine.
Rather than source a new block for the 2.3, I installed a used US version of the M20B25 2.5L Motronic engine, from a 1987 325iS.
Car has a limited slip differential and 5spd transmission with newer clutch.
Actual mileage is unknown as the odometer has stopped turning. I purchased the vehicle with just under 124,000 miles. The photo shown here of the speedometer with 139257 miles was taken in April of 2011 and when I transferred the title from my company's name to my own on 9/27/2012, the recorded mileage was 139,489, which is what it still reads. Since that date, the vehicle barely left my shop, where we were doing the work detailed below, for anything more than test drives. 2 nights prior to this listing, I drove the car 20 miles home and it still reads 139489. I highly doubt it has 200 miles on it since the odometer failed.
Over the last year, I gutted the interior of this car and replaced the mostly missing dealer installed air conditioning system with a factory BMW system from a US car. At the same time, I added cruise control and a full On Board Computer. The car originally had no cruise and only a clock.
The seats are original early E30 sport seats.
For those who are unfamiliar with the TC Baur conversions, these cars were taken from the BMW production line and sent to the German coach builder TC Baur for conversion. The cars were converted to a targa roof with drop down rear section, then finished by BMW and sold new as convertibles. These cars were produced up until BMW released their own full convertible.
There is a rack in the trunk that holds the targa top, and the car comes with a parade boot that clips on to cover the rear roof section while it is folded down. The stitching has failed on the rear window. A patient person could probably re-stitch it. A less patient person could go to GAHH automotive top company and order a replacement rear canvas for $600.
Car has a period correct Zender body kit that consists of front and rear spoilers, rear valance and side skirts.
Overall the car is in good condition and drives well. A/C is ice cold, using R134a. Cruise works. Transmission is smooth, engine starts and runs perfectly. No leaks, all suspension is tight, exhaust is solid.
There is a grapefruit sized dent above the left front wheel. There is a small dent in the top of the left quarter glass trim, see pictures.
There are speakers installed, along with wiring to head unit, but there is no head unit in the car. Car is fitted with headlight wipers, but they are inoperative.
Pictures depict a missing hubcap, but car does have all four hubcaps. Wheels are period correct 15" with new tires. Car is ready to drive as-is in good weather, or any weather after replacing the rear roof section detailed above.
Special features: early Baur Cabriolet with full history and verifiable mileage
This original full 1600-2 Baur Cabriolet was first registered in Vienna in 1968 and was until Dato Austria. The complete history of ownership is the first vehicle registration (individual license).

TC-BAUR 318i BMW - $5775 (Santa Clarita)
"I'm selling my BMW 318i TC BAUR. It has been my favorite car but it's time to part from it since I am moving and have no room for it. This car handles great and just a clean ride. It has a DTM carbon fiber trunk and 5 spoke ESM rims. The car runs good but does need a new battery. It is very clean but does have a door ding on the driver side and a dent on the rear bumper. In the interior it has matching momo race seats and a pioneer head unit with iPod hook up. It also has fairly new rear seats that match the momo seats. I love this car and I hate to let it go but it needs an owner that has more time for it. Just make me an offer but don't lo-ball me this car was imported and is US certified. It is currently registered non-op since the vehicle has sat in my garage. Don't be shy on the offers. Please email me with any questions."_______________________________________________________________7/25/2013
Of course we know there is no such thing as an "Eddie Bower" Edition BMW. I am not sure how this got transposed like that..... but it is in fact a "Baur". The seller probably confused it somehow with the "Eddie Bauer Edition" Ford Explorer.
Thank you to DrewZ in E30 bimmerforums for the heads up on this one. This is an example of an ad that would probably NOT turn up in a search for "Baur". :) We owe you one, Drew!
This is located in the Bangor/Mt Bethel area of NE Pennsylvania, btw.

BMW E30 320i Baur TC II (2) "Der Letzte!" TÜV bis 04/14
Preis: 3.490 EUR VB
Zum Verkauf steht der letzte gebaute BMW E30 320i Baur TC II Cabrio in Royalblaumetallic mit schwarzem Verdeck.
Der Wagen befindet sich in einem dem alter entsprechendem guten Zustand. Rost ist so gut wie keiner vorhanden weder an der Karosserie noch am Unterboden. Scheckheft vorhanden. Der Wagen hat noch bis 04/2014 TÜV und sollte auch ohne Probleme nochmal durchkommen. Letzter Kundendienst (BMW Werksatt) wurde heuer am 11.04.2013 bei 189000km gemacht. Es sind nur kleine Mängel vorhanden, die für einen Bastler kein Problem sind. Wagen wurde überwiegend im Sommer gefahren (Saisonkennzeichen) deshalb hat er eben fast keinen Rost. Originalrechnung von Baur über den Umbau ist noch vorhanden. Das es sich um den letzten gebauten Baur TC II handelt kann im Internet nachgeforscht oder bei mir genauer erfragt werden. Dies ist anhand der Ablauf Nr. der Rechnung 50865 nachvollziehbar. Außerdem liegt auch eine Bestätigung vom 100 Jahre Baur treffen (Meilenwerk Böblingen) vor. Die Motorhaube sollte neu lackiert oder ausgetauscht werden da sich auf dieser leider ein Airbrush befindet. Der BMW ist zur Zeit abgemeldet und kann mit Kennzeichen oder Hänger überführt werden. Am besten einfach anrufen und anschauen.

1984 BMW 318i - $4500 (Cedar Park)
This is a BMW E30 Baur edition 4 cylinder 5 speed. It is a targa-style with the removable top. The rest of the top folds down. This car runs and drives great and gets up to 30 mpg. It has decent paint and good interior. It has the usual dings and dents for a 30-year old car. Has approximately 128K on the odometer.
I am the third owner and have all the maintenance records. I know the complete history of the car and the first two owners. It needs some attention and TLC but has been a dependable daily driver. Buyer will receive all records, the original owners manual, the manufacturer manual for the folding top, and full disclosure of all known issues with the car. All issues are minor and do not prevent daily driving.
Call or text nine40-8seven2-088zero. I don't need scammers or help selling the car.
A super rare 79 BMW 320 Baur in great shape. Car came out of a Beverly Hills collection about 7 years ago. Previous owner did a mechanical update from a 4 cylinder 4 speed to a 6 cylinder 5 speed!. Suspension and exhaust updated as well. ALL brand new parts were used in this process, no expense was spared. Body and uncarriage amazingly clean. 61,000 original miles on the car, lifetime California car. Email me for pictures or to make an appointment to see this car. Won't last long!

1/43 NEO SCALE MODELS BMW 2002 (E10) BAUR - SILVER COLOR. Comes mounted on original display case with cover, and printed with the car's model name.
MIB condition.
Thanks to Paul M in Kingston MA for sending me this link today.... NEW FIND!!
1985 E30 BMW 323i Baur TC. Condition is poor. It was originally owned by the son of the Prince Spaghetti founder. It was then imported from Germany to my father. He used it for about 10 years. It did not pass inspection in 2001 and was left outside covered for approximately 3 years until the cover disintegrated. The car was then left in the weather from about 2004 until now. The rear plastic window collapsed allowing water in through the opening. The interior needs to be completely redone. The hood is dented in the front by the emblem and the grill is missing. Everything seems to be falling apart but the frame still seems to be in good condition. On the positive side the engine only has 70K, the frame of the Baur top and its components seem to be in working order, the LED sensor display seems to be in a good shape, the rims are in good shape, all the headlight and tail lights look ok, it has the chrome bumpers, and it has a custom wood steering wheel and shifter. Would make a good project car or can be salvaged for parts. I do know it is a very rare car. I read somewhere that only 200 of the Baur TC versions of the 323i were made in 1985. I was offered 1k for the car but figured I would list it to see if I could get more. Bank check or Cash accepted and will only deliver within 50 Miles of Kingston MA for $200. Otherwise will have to be picked up.

Thanks to THEPOOLEMAN once again for sending along this link today! Thanks, Ed!
1985 BMW E30/320i BAUR TC2 BAUR Tag # 43139-13 331231mi. $5,500.00 ($6k w/ sport rims & tires) This car is very unique and sought after by BMW enthusiasts. Garaged and in good driving condition. Has SP plates as it is only driven in the summer to car events and for road trips. If you keep the SP plates, you will never need to DEQ or tag it again. Car has been insured since purchase. Being almost 30 years old, this machine is not perfect, but close! No rust issues! Original euro-bumpers are in good shape -- never wrecked. OBC is German language. She has the euro 6 cylnder (320/6) engine. I am not real anxious to let her go, but will to the right person with the means and ability to complete this restoration. This means that even if you have the money I am asking, but no experience or infrastructure to complete the mission, I will keep her. Sorry, but it's a collector's thing! Comes with original 14" bottle cap rims. Rims & tires in pic (205/50 R15-89W) add $500. Rear canvas top in great condition + vinyl snap-on cover. What she needs: • Dual pipe exhaust to a dual CAT & dual muffler • Rear side marker lights • Antenna • She could use black leather sport seats and black door cards. • A paint job • Drivers side rear bumper cap (good luck!) • Struts & shocks Upgrades since purchase in 2005: • Rear bench reupholstered • Rear bench back (leather) added w/ armrests & headrests • "Angel Eye" city headlights • Phobo trunk lid spoiler • New timing belt • Cylinder head rebuild • Rear seat speakers (for when rear top is down) • Rear disc brakes & Limited slip rear differential from a '92 325e • Tinted windows • New fuel pump relay • New fan clutch • New thermostat • New coolant reservoir • New heater core Location: Portland __________________________________________________________________________1/28/2013 Ok, well this is not actually a Baur, but it IS being offered for sale by a former Baur owner. And it is kind of a neat car: 1982 E21 320i with a Callaway Turbo! Callaway started out in the town next door to me here in CT, and they still have their shop there.
The owner of this turbo is bimmerforums member tcm326. He was also the owner of Baur #917 from 2001-2005, a Baur that I nearly bought from my friend Josh L 3 years ago. I decided against it, and bought Baur #4154 instead. Baurspotting has been able to trace the ownership of Baur #917 back to 2001 through 5 previous owners, thanks to the help of folks like tcm326.
Here is a link to the story of Baur #917. You will find the reference to tcm326 way down near the bottom of the post, because his involvement was a long time ago. A lot of the pics, however, are from him. Thanks, Charley!
So I would like to express my gratitude to him for his help by posting this cool car for him here in Baurspotting as a professional courtesy. Check it out!
Truly one of a kind: Calloway Turbo with retro and
euro fittings.
First off, the mileage is unknown since one retro fitting
has been the replacement of the original speedometer/odometer (85mph limit) to a
1977-79 vintage 140 mph speedometer/odometer currently showing 93,331 miles.
Additional retro: chromed sideview mirror (again vintage 1977-79). Euro fittings
include full bumpers conversion and hella e code headlights with brand new
headlight wipers (not functional, needs wiring hookup). Recent work brand new
down pipe, new valve cover gasket, air filter, distributor, rotor, cap and
wires, plugs and tune up/fuel mixture re-set and brand new heater valve
(impossible to find at a reasonable price).
But the real story here is
the Calloway turbo conversion done early on (first or second owner?) that turns
the generally lethargic 80's version of the e21 into a bit of a rocket. Kicks in
beautifully on a smooth running, well tuned 1.8 liter 4 banger matched to a
smooth 5 speed manual transmission. A nice package all around: performance and
style aesthetics.
The pretty blue/gray exterior is bright with no paint
fading (undoubtedly a repaint to original color) complemented by original blue
fabric seats and interior panels. There are a few paint nicks and the driver's
side has had a slight brush with something leaving a light indentation on the
panel between the front wheel and door. From ten feet you have to look for it to
see it. The body is otherwise 98% rust free.
Wheels are BMW optional
aluminum turbine with performance tires with plenty of tread remaining. Spare
tire as well, is aluminum turbine. Also displays nice BBS type front spoiler and
trunk spoiler (sorry, dont know the actual manufacturer of these).
Inside
the interior is in excellent condition, little wear to carpets. Front seats show
some fabric wear on bottoms but not the backs or bolsters. Back seats have no
fabric wear. There are no stains or split seams anywhere. Driver and passenger
seat still retain plenty of support. Everything is full functioning except the
AC. All instruments function properly (water temp dial sometimes demonstrates a
mind of its own). Heater and fan, interior lights, vents etc work as original.
Original AM/FM cassette BMW (Alpine?) is full functioning.
All in all a
nice condition, unique configuration vintage coupe, with fun
performance.

I have just restored my extremely rare 1976 BMW 1502 convertible. It looks like a completely different car from the one I purchased in June. Beautiful! New Granada Red paint, new black convertible top, new grill-left and right side, new center grill, replaced bumpers, door moldings-black and stainless, belt molding, new hood, new trunk, new trunk floor and spare tire well, replaced wheel wells, all seams sealed, all rust removed, new fuse box, new front end, replaced shock towers, rear struts, replaced rear tail lights with excellent used tail lights.

Sun roof, wood steering wheel-blond wood. Great driver. This is a dependable car (was my daily driver for 20+ years!) with the potential to become a #1 car with some work. Restored in 1997. I am the second owner of the car and have owned it since 1979. Very attractive light cranberry exterior.

1/8/2013 Thanks to THEPOOLEMAN in E30 bimmerforums for this link to another LA TC2 Baur:
No texting please. Selling my TC Baur BMW Convertible. This is a 1985 E30 with 139K miles. The entire car has been upgrated to M-Power. This is the 6 Cyl. version with 2.3L Engine with 5 Speed Manual. New clutch recently installed. Have all service records. Has over 5K in upgrates and repairs. It has all Engine hoses replaced. Runs great. Has German Sport Suspension with Progressive Springs. Front and Rear Strut Bars. Carbon Fiber Parts are: Mirrors, Eyebrows, Kidney Grill, Rear Wing. Has Alpina front and rear spoiler upgrates. Has recently passed smog check. Has newly installed exhaust with catalytic converter. Registered in CA. This car was never sold in the US. There are about 64 of these cars in the entire USA (from privat parties imported from Germany). Call cell @310-528-0312. Can not receive text messages. Price is firm $6900. These cars are rare.
She's a beautiful stylish girl, & very collectable.
There are very few of the e21 Baur's left in good shape in the world, so this car is VERY much worth saving.
Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karosserie_Baur
Bad points:
Rust in floors sills, A-pillars
Blown head gasket/cracked head. Head is currently off. (Keep reading, this is not a major)
Good points:
VERY low mileage, 71kmiles!
Excellent 5 speed gearbox
Car comes with spare engine with rebuilt top end, work was done by Ernst at Bavarian Autos. I can organize to have this engine fitted for you by a skilled mechanic for $200 plus consumables - at your expense.
She has had a new canvas top fitted in recent times, not sure when exactly, but is in great condition. (Please ignore cat hair in pic)
This is a very rare car, but parts are readily available, interchangeable with the standard e21 BMW.
They handle better than your average convertible due to the rigidity provided by the structural frame. (Convertibles tend to flex)
The body is in excellent shape, except for a few tiny rust dimples in the drivers door & the boot lid. (Shown in pics)
I have investigated getting the car re-registered, & have been assured by a certification engineer that it should not be a problem as this car has been on the road in NZ before.
New replacement floors are available ex-Germany, approx cost $650. (Depending on exchange rate)
This car deserves to be put back on the road, it will be a great comfortable sporty convertible for the right person to enjoy, after not a huge amount of work & dollars to get her on the road.
Feel free to ring me 0275 409 489 if you want to know more.

BMW E21 Baur TC1 Cabriolet w/ wide body kit (Rare) - $3900 (Los Angeles/USC)
Date:
brcmk-3521464067@sale.craigslist.org[?]Hello, the vehicle being listed is a 1981 BMW 318i (E21) Baur Cabriolet, VIN# WBAAG310XC7499009. This car was a project being modded for the track (hence, the flared body kit and extra-wide wheels). The body is in very good condition, the interior a dark-blue cloth with rear seats removed and stock driver's and passenger's seats replaced with bucket racing seats. This car has also had the Euro-spec headlights installed. It does not have an engine or transmission installed, as both were removed to make way for an upgraded manual transmission and M30 engine complete with turbo. I will include a manual transmission and complete M30 (3.5 liter 635csi) engine with the car, as well as all extra parts and trim to be installed which are stored in the trunk and under the hood. This car has a chrome rollcage installed for added structural rigidity, and the suspension has also been upgraded; the rear section of the top and the rear plastic window will need reuphostering and restoring.
The wheels are MK Motorsport 18-inchers wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero 295/30/ZR18 (rear) and 295/40/ZR18 (front) tires. A WIDE 10 inches in the rear, to accomodate the fiberglass body kit. Also included is the Euro-spec chrome front bumper.
For more history on the Baurs; these are basically Targa tops, with a fold-down back and removable T-tops above the driver and passenger. Only 1,874 of them in total were converted by Baur Stuutgart, Germany, among the 2002, E21, and early E30 models. This is one of the few, of 25 US specs, shipped to the US; the rest remained solely on the European market. A couple great websites for in-depth research on these models, as well as current pricing on other comparable models listed for sale, are baurspotting.blogspot.com and baur-tc1.de .
I can be reached via email or anytime at {323} 291 6610. Looking to let this project go in leau of others, as it's been parked between the garage and house for years; I need the space!

Great car. Needs some cosmetic work , but all there. Runs well. It's an 85 e30 BMW 318i tc baur with Euro stuff. Replaced many parts. Hate to let it go. Ask for Chris @3234472558
Welcome to another installment of baby's needs force sale of daddy's rare car.
If you've found this ad, you know what you are looking at. For those that stubled upon it, let me give you a bit of a lesson about this wonky looking relic of the late 70's. BMW didn't always make their own convertibles. They had coachbuiders modify standard production models and have them turned into convertibles. Baur was one of those commisioned by BMW. This particular model was a successful attempt to combine the nimbleness, rigidness of a closed-cockpit coupe, with the open roof excitement of a convertible. They absolutely nailed it. The only sacrifce made was the asthetics. The targa/landau top is pretty awkward looking.
I could ramble on with the history. But, you'd quickly get bored and move onto another listing. If you'd like to learm more, here's a good place to start.
The car has very little rust. The body is relatively straight, the frame is completely straight and does not appear to have been in any major accidents. The interior has been stripped of it's Recaros and now has vinyl E21 comfort seats. The glass is in good condition, it has the targa top and trunk mounting brackets.
The car has a clean California title. The car hasn't been registered since 1998. Someone started an engine swap, but failed to complete it. In the engine bay a M20B27 (Eta) motor is bolted in, but not wired up. The motor is in unknown condition, other than it's complete. There is a M20 transmission from an E30 attached. Luckly, I have a known good, documented mileage M20B23 (from a hartop E21 323i) as well as a 4spd manual (also from the same E21 323i). This brings this Baur back to what is coded in the VIN.
I have service and ownership records dating back to the early 90's as well as a untabbed, unused California plate from when it was last registered.
The car has been plucked of some of it's rarer bits over the years. Fortunately I have a fair amount of parts to replace what's missing.
The car will come with these parts not seen in the photos:
3.91 diff,
4spd driveline
euro bumpers
various extra Baur-specific seals and trim
An additional intake manifold, fuel lines, fuel distributor and intake manifold from the original M20B23.
As stated before, a complete, known good M20B23 and 4spd manual from an E21 323i.
And just as an added bonus: A rough, but restorable set of period correct 15" BBS/Mahle wheels.
Several boxes of new parts.
BBS front air dam and european front valance (for an additional price).
316 single 7" headlight and grill setup (for an additional price)
The car can only be viewed by appointment as it is in storage across town.
This is one of only two TC1 Baurs known to be in Oregon.
This is a great price for a great project. Aside from cash, I'm looking for something a little better suited for baby duty. 318ti, 4 door late model E30,535is, Tourings, Bavaria. Shoot me your trade, I'll consider it.
Thanks for looking!
Also, I have an E21 320i with a ton of rare bits on it. I'd be willing to make a deal on the whole lot of E21 rareness. It has an IS front spoiler, strut tower bar, battery relocation/strut bar, Alpina bar, complete 5spd swap, killer stereo, Recaros, staggered Rials, color matched euro bumpers, custom crosshair headlights, 323i rear end with E30 brakes, etc..... It's currently my daily driver. It would probably be better off used as a parts car for the Baur since it has a ton of rare parts. $7000 takes my whole E21 collection. I really need a daddy mobile.
We have seen many versions of the factory authorized Baur convertible conversions, and we have recently come across some examples of the rare Lumma aftermarket conversions. Here is an example of a chop top convertible conversion. We know nothing else about the car, other than what appears here in the craigs list ad.

12/2/2012 This is a repost for our friend paul_111 in roadfly: $5500 OBO.
I don't know the status of the car, I just came across his post tonight.
1982 BMW 323i BAUR (RARE)
This is a RARE E21 323i Baur cabrio. These cars weren't imported in the US -- they are gray market. That means someone personally imported them at great expense (federalization costs A LOT).
Baur (Stuttgart Germany) modified a limited number of these cars in the 2002, E21, and E30 body styles. NONE of them were sold to the US market.
This car was imported to the Bay area, and for the past ~9 years it's been in NM. It is a RUST FREE garage queen.
It is a manual transmission, manual windows, steering, etc. White with black tops, black cloth Recaro seats.
It has a 5 speed dogleg manual transmission -- most people have never seen (let alone driven) such a tranny -- reverse is where first gear normally is; first is where second normally is, etc.
Engine:
Rebuilt with Ireland Engineering 3.0L kit (9.8:1 pistons)! I have extensive pictures and documentation of the build -- the kit alone was $2500.
$1200 in parts on the head rebuild (Schrick 272 cam). Big bore throttle body from Ed Mazula. Total engine build was north of $7k. I purchased the engine with ~20k miles on it after the car it was in was rear-ended and totaled. For more information on the engine, look up the (infamous) 3.0L stroker by davelength on the e21 boards. Battery relocated to the trunk.
New parts:
Distributor cap and rotor
Performance spark plug wires
O2 sensor
Crank position sensor
Battery
Hoses
Clutch, Guibo, Engine mounts, Gaskets
Clutch slave
Fuel injectors were cleaned and refurbed
Body has 100k miles on it.
Has stainless brake lines and stainless Ansa exhaust
Python alarm with proximity sensor
Extras included:
Extra targa top (try finding one these days)
Complete original 323i engine (and engine stand)
A/C from a 320i (not installed)
MANY E21 and E30 parts
Willing to bring to a shop of your choice for a pre-purchase inspection and ship.

1981 320i (M10) with US bumpers. $5,500 asking price.
Here is Kevin's email: This is easy. I can't swing a dead cat without hitting a baur. I spotted this on the way home today parked at the back of a local used car dealer. Spoke to the owner, didnt get his name. He claims to have had it for the last 7-8 yrs. He would sell for $5,500. Extremely straight body, faded paint and no signs of rust in typical areas. very clean underneath. Seat Upholstery redone poorly. Interior extremely good. You can see the website on the license plate frame. The phone# is on the website if you need to contact him.
OK, folks..... now check THIS out! This is Jeroen's list of the 25 US Spec cars that came to North America. Most, as you can see, went to Canada. Three came to the US. Now, scroll down the Column B list to 72482. THERE IT IS! Kdonn has found another Baur from this list!
Woo hoo!! Congrats, Kevin!

The car is Alpina white, and has less than 97,000 original miles. All the parts of the convertible top are in working condition, but it needs a new plastic back window.

1982 BMW 323i Baur - $2000 (Bloomington IN)
Date: 2012-08-29, 6:16PM EDT
Selling my 1982 bmw 323i baur 5 speed manual. This is a grey market car and titled as an 1982 bmw 320i, it was brought over from germany and for some reason could not be titled as a 323i baur. Title vin numbers match car. I have been in the process of restoring the car and it has been stripped down ( I have all of the trim, interior and everything I removed stored with the car) It is in need of the rear body panel below trunk lid and front drivers side quarter panel, I have the old body panels though the old rear section cannot be reinstalled (must be replaced) the front quarter panel could be reinstalled though had been damaged when I bought it and has a crappy bondo job "fixing" the dented up section. It has black recaros up front (small cut in drivers seat) and black rear bench seat. I absolutely love this car and hate to get rid of it but I cannot find the time to restore it and need the space for other projects. The rear fold down roof needs new canvas and window though it still functions. exhaust system needs replaced though I have the original manifold so from there back needs to be addressed. This is a very rare car and needs a good home and not be stripped and sold as parts. As I understand they built less than 1500 of this model/year and they are pretty hard to come by at this point. I can provide photos and if you would like to see it in person I would be happy top do so. Please only serious inquiries.
Serious Collectors Take a look at THIS! We are proud to be offering this 1985 BMW 316 baur tc, directly from the original owner! This one owner vehicle was bought new in Koln, Germany, has traveled 11 countries in Europe, then spent many years in Monaco before it was finally brought here to the Hamptons for travel around town and the city. The 316 Baur TC model was actually NEVER offered for sale in America and this is one of only 10 known baur's in the US that is still on the road......And its probably the nicest one by far. Please take a look at all the pictures to see the excellent condition this vehicle is in, it is very obvious its owner has taken very good care of it over the years and maintained it properly. Needless to say it does have a few small chips and scratches which would be expected on a vehicle of this age, mileage and history-but as a whole is in excellent condition. NO RUST. Paint is very bright and shines up beautifully. Interior is in great condition as well, only the drivers seat has suffered a little wear from years of service but the panels, carpet and dash are all in excellent shape..PLEASE NOTE: this vehicle has 88,382 KILOMETERS on it........which equals only 55,000 miles! LOW LOW MILEAGE! Nothing in the car is hydraulic or electric-so it doesn't break! This car is sure to turn heads and provide its new owner with many years of driving pleasure. Whether your looking for a beach cruiser, a unique Sunday driver or adding another RARE car to your collection-THIS IS IT! BMW Enthusiasts should not miss the opportunity to own this truly special vehicle.

I bought it off this very site about four years ago in a right old state and completely dismantled it for restoration. I'd like to say it is a concours condition but it isn't, however it's a cracking looking fun car that's lovely to drive around in the sunshine. The engine pulls like a train and makes a cracking noise too! Warts and all description follows, I would rather be honest about the car up front and have a happy new owner.

6/21/2012 We have this one listed here below (2/15/2012) as a non-running Baur. It is now RUNNING strong! Albuquerque NM
If you saw this post in the past, please re-read -- the cars runs now! It pulls HARD! It's technically a 330i now...
This is a RARE E21 323i Baur cabrio. These cars weren't imported in the US -- they are gray market. That means someone personally imported them at great expense (federalization costs A LOT).
Baur (Stuttgart Germany) modified a limited number of these cars in the 2002, E21, and E30 body styles. NONE of them were sold to the US market.
This car was imported to the Bay area, and for the past ~9 years it's been in NM. It is a RUST and dent FREE garage queen.
It is a manual transmission, manual windows, steering, etc. White with black tops, black cloth Recaro seats.
It has a 5 speed dogleg manual transmission -- most people have never seen (let alone driven) such a tranny -- reverse is where first gear normally is; first is where second normally is, etc.
Engine: rebuilt with Ireland Engineering 3.0L kit (9.8:1 pistons)! I have extensive pictures and documentation of the build -- the kit alone was $2500.
$1200 in parts on the head rebuild (Schrick 272 cam). Big bore throttle body from Ed Mazula. Total engine build was north of $7k. I purchased the engine with ~20k miles on it after the car it was in was rear-ended and totaled.
New parts:
Distributor cap and rotor
Performance spark plug wires
O2 sensor
Crank position sensor
Battery
Hoses
Clutch, Guibo, Engine mounts, Gaskets
Fuel injectors were cleaned and refurbed
Body has 100k miles on it.
Has stainless brake lines and stainless Ansa exhaust
Extras included:
Extra targa top (try finding one these days)
Complete original 323i engine (and engine stand)
A/C from a 320i (not installed)
MANY E21 and E30 parts
Someone named "autobahn' emailed this link to me tonight. I am trying to reach the owner, but, for now, this is all we know. We do know of an unidentified Baur out in the Cincinnati area, but it is a different (Hennarot) color. (Incidentally, we know that that one is owned by an Erik H. in Kettering, but we have not been able to contact him yet.) So, the Baur below could be a NEW FIND! Thank you, autobahn! Do we have anyone in the Cincinnati area to check on this for us?? Stay tuned.

_________________________________________________________________ 5/26/2012 TC1 BAUR RESTORATION PROJECT FOR SALE IN PENNSYLVANIA!
Michael and Scott's project Baur in Newville, PA. Scott is msbehmane36 in bimmerforums. This is Baur number 3583, and formerly looked like this:
When they bought it, it was a mess: dents and dings everywhere, body kit in terrible shape,fLoor pan rust, etc. So they decided to strip it down, and basically start over. Lots of work remains to be done, as you can see, but they are well into the project. We look forward to watching their progress on this restoration.
See the little cutouts in the valance above? Michael plans to run his dual exhausts through there.
the project Baur is on the left; the Baur on the right is Baurspotting's 1982 323i Baur #4154. My son, Brian, and I stopped by to visit Scott and Mike on our way home from Bimmerfest East in August 2011.
UPDATE 5/26/2012: Scott B. has contacted me and stated that circumstances have changed, and they have decided to sell this Baur project as is. Car is complete except for the front seats and the tranny. Engine is the M20 323i. If you are interested in this project, shoot me an email, and I will put you directly in touch with Scott.
I have a real 1984 bmw 318i baur top cabriolet. non US made only europe and south africa. targa top with convertible rear window, a real head turner. new rear plastic windshield and new dashboard free of cracks. it runs and drives well, i have been driving it for the last 2 weeks. Also have the missing high beam Hella light, just got in the mail. Was my project car, but more work is not allowing me to finish it. so my loss is your gain on a piece of BMW history. any questions or anything call/text (954)401-0678. $3500 OBO, open to trades too

1986D BMW 318i AUTO PAS BAUR TC WITH RARE OPTIONS NEW MOT VERY GOOD THROUGHOUT
EXCELLENT VALUE AND QUALITY CONVERTIBLE CABRIOLET
Item location: MARCH CAMBS, United Kingdom
Time left:
23h3m5s(12 May, 201217:34:38 BST)
This is a lovely example of the very pretty Baur version of the e30 Bmw cabriolet.
It is the 318 injection coupled with 4 speed auto box and power steering which make it very easy to manoeuvre and drive.
As you can see in the pictures it is in really good condition.The bodywork barely has a mark on it,definitely no rust and definitely no dents.This is not your typical worn out unloved e30 Bmw it has clearly been loved and cherished from day one.The interior is very good with only minimal wear on the drivers seat.It still has its original working bluespot radio.
The roof is in excellent condition with an excellent rear window too and is very easy to remove,there is a hood cover for the rear section of the roof when the roof is down.
It drives without any fault.
It has just passed a new mot with no advises necessary.
The car has some very nice extras from new namely the Zender white wheels which are original from new.It also has the M-technics bodykit from new and M-tech steering wheel.Apparently it also has a rear window protector.
The previous owner who part exchanged it to me (he is a genuine collector naming a Maserati and Borgward in his collection) informed me that it was only used in the summer and then stored it for the winter,The previous owner was the wife of a local company director and had it for 25 years! When anything needed doing it was done as is verified by the extensive service history.The v5 shows just 3 owners which include the first owner for just 3 months who was no doubt the supplying dealer (the number plates show Park Lane Bmw on them)
The chrome on the bumpers is very good.
I am happy to arrange delivery for you,collect you from the local train station in March Cambs and can even take a part exchange subject to ebay rules.
The mileage is 132k which is obviously nothing for a BMW and indeed is just 5,000 miles per year,most of the mileage was done in its early years and as i said earlier it does have a most comprehensive stamped service book.I must also re-iterate this is not the usual one of these and is a credit to its 2 owners,it is a really beautiful car in every way. The new owner will,i am sure,be delighted with it and have much summer fun with it.
Viewing is welcome in the pe15 area of Cambridgeshire.You bid to buy not to reserve the right to come and view first so if you do wish to view please do so before you bid as you do bid to buy .Please read my feedback ,i have nearly 30 years of experience dealing with such vehicles so you may buy with confidence.THIS IS THE LOWEST PRICE!

This 2002 Targa below is now on ebay, with a bid of $10,500, reserve NOT met, 6 days to go.
1974 BMW 2002 Baur Targa
Brilliant Blue Exterior / Ferrari Leather Black Interior
Exterior Restoration
4 Speeds
1 of 2007 Baur Built Targas
A recipient of a Fresh Exterior Restoration in the brilliant Blue, this 4 Speed Targa is truly a rare find. This 1975 BMW 2002 Baur Targa was part of a limited production run of 1963 units, between 1971 and 1975 by BMW factory authorized Karosserie Baur. They were also responsible for models such as the BMW M1 and Porsche 959. A Removable Targa Top rests above the front passenger compartment, behind it a Soft Cabriolet Top folds back to give the rear passengers a peak at the sun. Power comes from its original and efficient 2 Liter Inline 4 cylinder engine and 4 Speed Manual Transmission that has been regularly serviced and maintained. This Car is imported from Germany the speedo meter is in KM and reads only original 139.000 Kilometer = 85.000 Miles.
The car has Turbo Karosserie with front and back spoiler. Aluminum Rims and Recaro sport seats retail one Seat 2000 US$.
The Interior is Black leather used by Ferrari.
It breaks my heart but I have to sell this rare unique Car. This Car was driven on the German Autobahn and knows speed. It handles like a sport car and hugs those mountain curves like a Porsche.
If you are a true BMW collector or you just love the 2002 edition this is a must have.
Now let us get to the History of the car.
This Car is so rare that only 44 of this particular car was build. This is the 33rd Car build from Baur. As you may notice as a BMW collector you will notice the odd VIN # TP 18KW37692XB33. This is not a BMW issued VIN # this VIN was given to Baur from the TUV in Germany. Baur build 44 Cars under the nose from BMW and sold those cars on the side until Baur got caught by BMW.
This car was a Roundy before and along the way this car was converted to a Square taillight. Nobody really knows how much this car is worth but I heard numbers from 20,000 US$ all the way up to 100,000 Euros. The Car would be much more worth for sure if the conversion never happened.
BWM made 1963 cars and Baur build 44 of those beautiful cars. So the real number is 2007 Car in this style were build. BMW likes to sweep this story under the carpet but it happened.
If you are a true BMW collector or you just love the 2002 edition this is a must have. There is no reserve on this car. I hope it will find a good home.
Thank you for looking at this rare Car

Thanks to HarryPR (Baurspotter of the Week!) for the heads up on this Baur being sold as a whole parts car in Springfield VA!
this is a rare 1980 323i e21 baur 5sp m20 unknown miles , disk brakes all around , slip diff. engine is in good shape its been sitting for a while , the top is in good shape just needs to be clean , recaro seats needs some work . pm for parts prices . thanks
OK, so technically, this doesn't belong here: it is not a Baur. However, we do reserve the right to make occasional exceptions to the rule, when we find something that is of unusual rarity or interest. So put this one firmly in that category. :)
That's right, you are looking at an E21 Tow Truck! $7,900.

Vehicle description of agency
For sale is my BMW 325ix A Baur Convertible. Vermilion paint, black leather, with ski bag in the back seat, power windows, power, green glass, outside temp. Display. One of only 19 built 325ix automatic all-wheel Baur convertibles. Last entry in service record at 266165 km. The car has German daily admission has been approved anschliesend in Switzerland, where he had 2 owners, I have prepared for German and Swiss papers for the car, he is already cleared, and for approval in Germany. Among its shortcomings: no German TÜV, the BMW owner apparently had a little accident with a right rear, so the side panel above the wheel arch bit bumpy and dented the right corner below the bumper a bit. The droning engine starts, but not damage to the engine! The car has already been once, probably fully painted. The rear deck is not perfect. Here and there he has a few small signs of rust, not much. Have lots of pictures

Click on "Sales". http://www.moranmotosport.com/sales.html
You will see a pic of their inventory inside the showroom. Looking at the pic on the left side.... the third car from the bottom is a dark green E21 Baur! That is what HenryHide1886 saw!
The car can also be seen in a shot from outside the front of the showroom. Click on "Map". http://www.moranmotosport.com/map.html
In the pic, just to the left of the map you can see the showroom window.... and you can just make out the distinctive amber turn signal and the bumper-mounted side reflector of the E21 Baur.
I will see if I can get more info on this, but in the meantime, thanks to HenryHide1886 for a great find!
Update: Google 795 Ashby Street, Berkeley CA. Go to "Street View". You will see a BMW dealer on one side of the street. Zoom around to the opposite side of the street where you will see Moran Motorsport. Zoom in close to the showroom window and you will clearly see the distinctive roll-bar pillar of the dark green Baur!

I found this recent listing tonight from Albuquerque New Mexico:
This is a RARE E21 323i Baur cabrio. These cars weren't imported in the US -- they are gray market. That means someone personally imported them at great expense (federalization costs A LOT).
Baur (Stuttgart Germany) modified a limited number of these cars in the 2002, E21, and E30 body styles. NONE of them were sold to the US market.
This car was imported to the bay area, and for the past ~9 years it's been in NM. It is a RUST FREE garage queen.
It is a manual transmission, manual windows, steering, etc. White with black tops.
It has a 5 speed dogleg manual transmission -- most people have never seen (let alone driven) such a tranny -- reverse is where first gear normally is; first is where second normally is, etc.
New parts:
Engine: rebuilt with Ireland Engineering 3.0L kit (9.8:1 pistons)! I have extensive pictures and documentation of the build -- the kit alone was $2500.
$1200 in parts on the head rebuild (Schrick 272 cam). Big bore throttle body from Ed Mazula. Total engine build was north of $7k. I purchased the engine with ~20k miles on it after the car it was in was rear-ended and totaled.
All hoses
Clutch
Guibo
Engine mount
Extras included:
Extra cabrio top (try finding one these days)
Complete original engine (and engine stand)
Rear spoiler (not installed)
A/C from a 320i (not installed)
Ansa exhaust
MANY E21 and E30 parts
What it needs:
Custom exhaust (headers back)
Cold air intake
Fuel filter
Battery
Tires
It is NOT running at this time. It needs the above parts installed/completed.

2/14/2012 OK, thanks to Layne from E21 bimmerforums for the link to this 2002 Targa. It is an old listing (November 11, 2010) but it is an interesting view of what kinds of Baurs may be out there. This one has an unusual feature pointed out by Layne: Can you spot the Webasto sunroof in the Targa roof? THIS IS NOT A MISPRINT! :)
That's right! A removable Targa roof and a soft cabriolet fold down rear roof were not enough options for this guy! He had to have a sunroof also!!!
This 1973 BMW 2002 Targa (VIN 2795740) was given a high quality, bare metal exterior restoration three years ago to the tune of $8,500 plus parts. Nearly all gaskets and seals were replaced with OEM new parts, as there are many rubber parts specific to these Targas thanks to a pop-out front top and folding rear soft top. The car then won the 2002 People’s Choice Award at a 2008 Windy City BMW event and has remained garaged, covered, and away from any foul weather. It is available in Chicago, Illinois for $19k. Contact us at mail@bringatrailer.com if you are interested.
The car originally had round tail lights, but a prior owner replaced them with the rectangular ones that were introduced with the 1974 model year. Some 2002 owners found the rectangular tail lights more attractive and preferred the updated look. Square lights with the chrome bumpers give the car a Euro look. The only rust detected during the body work was in the rocker panels, which were removed and totally re-fabricated. The interior of the trunk and engine compartment were also painted given the color change to Inka Orange.
The interior is in good original condition. There is a slight tear in the driver’s seat base, but otherwise the seats look very tidy and the seller tells us they are quite comfortable. The seat cushions could use some new horsehair padding to preform as original. An entire interior restoration was quoted to cost around $2,500, but the car is not desperate for it. The dash does have one slight crack as shown in the photos, and the Nardi wheel would remain a nice match even if the interior was changed to black.
Mechanically, the car is extremely reliable and sound according to the seller. It is serviced near Chicago by Ben Thongsai, who is well-known in the 2002 community as an 02 specialist. He can vouch for the condition of the car. It starts right up and is a great driver. All stickers in the engine compartment were also added after the paint work.
BMW in Germany verified that the car was manufactured on October 27th, 1972 and delivered on October 31, 1972, to the German BMW dealer Becker in Krefeld. The original color was Agave (dark green), paint code 071. Baur apparently only modified 1,963 Targas between 1972 and 1975. Check out the Flickr album slide-show below for many more detail shots.

Thanks to Uwe at the International Baur Registry for this link:
Very solid 1980 323i Baur TC1 Cabriolet. Polaris Silver In good original condition. All trim present and in good condition. Exterior chrome good. 13" Alloys inc spare. Original Radio. Was working until I played with it. 5spd PAS Electric mirrors, which no longer work. Rear fan heater. 65k documented miles. I have all the old MOTs, a partially stamped up service book, and some other invoices etc. MOT July. Currently SORNd.
Paint is a little tired in places, having been a bit overpolished I suspect. There are a few small areas of light surface, non structural rust, ie around the underside of the wheel arches for example. This would take very little effort to remove and treat. NS front wing has some corrosion which has been repaired with filler. Few other areas where light surface rust has been cleaned off and primer used.
Hood is in fair condition & weatherproof, but would benefit eventual replacement if you want a show winner Targa top in good order. Tourneau cover Black cloth and vinyl trim. Drivers seat squab has usual wear Dashboard is crack free.
Flew through its MOT, with only the rear seatbelts causing its failure, due to these being slow to retract. I removed them to enable a retest to be done.
I had done a lot of mechnical work prior to this, and welding was limited to only two small areas in both the top outside corners of the front footwells, above the front forward jacking plates. Once the rusted area was removed, and the fresh steel welded in, new jacking plates were fitted back in place
It has also had Rebuilt front calipers to inc new seals & pistons New back boxes and centre section (BMW) New ATE brake master cylinder (OE) All fluids replaced Plugs, leads, K&N filter. Belts 4 new Falken tyres.
I also have the following new/nos parts
A set of NOS Boge Sport springs ( - 30mm ) Fr & R suspension insert buffers Pair of NOS rear shock inserts Water pump Thermostat Timing belt kit Chrome windscreen insert Centre cap inserts Hood rubber A used back box in VGC. Plus a few other bits and bobs
Most parts are OE spec or genuine BMW parts.
Drives well, with the optional and desirable 5spd ( overdrive ) box & PAS. Decent acceleration and a good turn of speed for an old girl. With only 4500 or so of all engine variants produced she is a bit of a rare bird and would be an excellent example to be restored to her former glory with littlework, or just driven and enjoyed as she is. Sure to raise in value much like the 02 series has in recent years.
Viewing welcomed, the car is located approx 7mls North of J17 M4 Message, email or ring me for more details.
This Baur is for sale 'for parts' on eBay now in California:
Lots of other pics on the listing.
1979 323i Baur for parts
Item number: 270910726909 Here is the Ultimate Project Car! I have been the owner of this vehicle since it was imported back in 1985.The federal / DOT sticker is in the door jam. My ex girlfriend ran the car to hot one summer day and cracked the block - It has been garaged ever since. I have a replacement block and the original top end (see pictures). I basically have all that is needed to put this car back together. Little time and no energy to do it. The bad - The floor pan is rusted, dent on the passenger side door and the car has a salvage title. My bad on that when I bought it back from the insurance company. I was ingnorent at the time. The rest - it needs a lot of TLC to get her back on the road. This vehicle is worth a lot in just the parts.....Wheels with brand new tires at $300, the euro bumpers at $300, The recaro seats at $150, the 4 speed tranny and diff at $300, engine subframe at $100, the engine at $350 and finally the Baur Top at $ ? $ And so on and on - Again, I have all that is needed to put her back together, just no time or energy to do it. I will have this vehicle up for sale locally and by other means, so I will exercise the right to close the auction. I will expect a 50% pament via PayPal at the close of the aucten. The pick up is entirely upon the buyer in a timely manner. I truly hope that a collector / enthuist picks this car up and restores her. Good luck bidding - Thanks http://www.ebay.com/itm/79-BMW-Europ...efaultDomain_0
1980 BMW Baur Convertible 323I automatic. Metallic green with a black interior and factory fitted Recaro Trophy sports seats.
Three owners with a documented service history to verify the recorded mileage of 81,000. It is taxed until February 2012, MOT’d until March 2012, although if the asking price is paid in full a new MOT will be supplied with the car.
The overall condition is extremely good. As it is nearly 32 years old the car is not perfect but you would have to be very lucky to find a better one. It drives virtually as it would have when new. The foldable section of the roof is in good condition and the removable panel, boot storage rack and tonneau are all present and correct.
Around three years ago a few structural issues were identified (rust in the sills, around the rear turrets) all of which were properly dealt with. There is a photographic record of the work undertaken.
On the mechanical side the front brake calipers, the exhaust up to the downpipe, water pump, cambelt and many more odds and sods have been replaced since 2009. All parts used were BMW OE standard, sourced either from BMW main agents or directly from Walloth & Nesch in Germany.
With respect to remaining imperfections, one of the headlamp wiper assemblies is missing, the driver's window requires a winder, the driver's seat bolster has been professionally replaced but in a slightly different material and the car is currently without any radio or speakers. There are also a couple of marks on the bodywork, but nothing that detracts from its appearance.
Complete 320 baur, engine has damaged crank, and head possibly damaged, rest of the car is intact, water tight roof, leather interior, nice rims
really miffed at the engine going, promising car, amazing in the summer
316 engine ran a year ago, steering column snapped, dent in driver side wing, small 10p size dent in hood and rear hood, interior tidy, tatty but nice rims
320 runs but idles low, 316 will need to be trailered
Any offers on taking complete cars or certain parts?
1985 BMW 323i / 325i Coupe / Convertible, 6 cylinder (that's correct) 2.7 liter engine, manual
Baur Edition - if you are a BMW enthusiast you will know that this was a post production modification that removed the top and replaced it with a targa style top
One of a kind Collector's vehicle
Speedo is 192xxx
Lots of service records
Was imported to North America - considered a "Grey Market" vehicle
Most of its life has been spent in California and Texas - NO RUST!!! Stored in a garage during its time in PA and OH
Passed CA smog inspection
Recent service and PA inspection about 1 month ago - $600 in hoses, left tie rod replacement, inspection, turn signal repair.
Highlights: After market replica Alpina wheels - $1200, new chrome bumper replacement $250, after market in dash CD player, body ground effects, seat reupholstery with new interior carpeting
Cons: a few superficial paint scratches that could likely be removed with light buffing / detailing
OEM German Canvas roof replacement is also available. Just needs a professional installation.

Thanks to Uwe from the Baur Register in Germany for this listing on eBay Germany:
(Translated from the original German)
I'm selling here a BMW Baur Convertible Single April 1979
The car is signed out since 2000 and since then has been dry
in the garage.
It has a front and a rear apron, side sills as well as by Zender.
There was even a rear spoiler fitted, but not in the appropriate moment
is. There are two small holes in the tailgate is urgent but can seal easily.
The car is lowered with Bilstein suspension.
In the trunk of a 38 liter fuel tank is built of extra Alpina.
He has built beautiful alloy wheels 7x15 BBS
-Must be repainted if necessary, are otherwise in good condition.
The two sport seats from Recaro are in good condition. Only the driver's seat would have
be bolstered once again - see photo
The dash is in good condition without cracks.
The instrument cluster has a crack in the plexiglass you get on ebay but bought later well.
The motor is running at the moment with Start Pilot.
Runs but clean and without noise. The carburetor should be cleaned, so after a long life, he is not ready to drive.
I extended-fuel gauge of the tank after a long service life even without rust.
On the car of course would still have a lot to be done (rust, technology).
The rear window has a small hole.
In case of serious interest in the car can be visited at any time between HA and HB directly to the A1 motorway, and it will be no disagreement there.
Included are original BMW Baur and papers, conclusions and a set of steel rims.

There are several other Baurs listed on eBay Germany, including two TC2s and a 1974 2002 Baur Targa! Check it out! Here is a link, but I am not sure that it will work for you. I got it after Googling eBay Germany, and then translating the page.
This is my father's 1986 BMW 325e tc baur edition. The TC baur is a full convertible that maintains the structural ridgidity of a coupe by keeping the roof structure intact. It is a extremely rare model. The TC Baur version also offers a targat top removal or full removal of the roof. The Targa top slides into rails in the trunk for storage. The rear part is of cloth material and flips down. You can have it targa flip up at an angle or remove it completely. It offers many options. We have had the car for over 10 years and done all the our self. I have many reciepts and there are many new parts on the car. It is currently his daily driver. Asking $4500 or best offer

I'm selling my BMW 318i TC BAUR. It has been my favorite car but it's time to part from it. This car handles great and just a clean ride. The body kit is currently off of the car rite now because I was going to redo it but I ran out of time and money. It has a DTM carbon fiber trunk and 5 spoke ESM rims. It is very clean but does have a door ding on the driver side. In the interior it has matching momo race seats and a pioneer head unit with iPod hook up. It also has fairly new rear seats that match the momo seats. I love this car and I hate to let it go but it needs an owner that has more time for it. Just make me an offer but don't lo-ball me this car was imported and is US certified. Don't be shy on the offers. Please email me, call or text me at 661-733-67zero1

Thanks to David (77 320i) in the E21 bimmerforum for the heads up on the 1983 E30 TC2 Baur in Cleveland, OH.
1983 BMW BAUR 323i Convertible - $6100 (Newbury)
This is a rare, Euro 323i that was converted, at time of production, to a convertible/targa by BAUR TC in Germany.
Before BMW began to produce the E30 Convertible in 1986, Baur TC did all their convertible work.
This car has a Targa top that lifts off and is stored in a custom rack in the trunk. The rear section of the roof is canvas, and drops down and gets hidden by a parade boot.
The car is in decent condition, it is not perfect by any means, it is a 27 year old E30, after all.
The original 2.3 Litre L-Jetronic motor threw a rod. We have replaced it with a 2.5 Litre Motronic 1.0 engine from a 1987 325iS. The original LJet motor is included in the sale, should you wish to return the vehicle to stock.
5 speed manual transmission, rebuild limited slip final drive. Drives well. Has a period correct Zender body kit on it and has been repainted at some point in its life.
This car was imported and Federalized through a shop in Cincinnati in 1985.
The odometer is showing 139,000 miles and I see nothing on the car to suggest this is not correct.
Still has the Euro bumpers, and Euro high beams, but US low beams. One low beam wiper motor is bad.
The rear plastic window needs to be restiched. It has fallen out as the stitching has degraded over the years. We have been quoted $500 to do this. I will knock $500 off the price if you take the car as-is, or will have the window repaired for the listed price.

___________________________________________________
I stumbled across this 1975 2002 Baur Targa on BarnFinds. You may recall that this car was at the SoCal Vintage Show in Van Nuys, CA at the end of October, 2011. The steering wheel has been changed: in October it has a nice-looking Nardi-style wood steering wheel.
BMW 2002's are a fairly common sight, but when was the last time you saw one of these? This 1975 BMW 2002 Baur Targa is one of 1,973 produced and although it has some flaws it could make for a fun summer driver. Find it here on eBay in Los Gatos California with bidding at $50 and the reserve unmet.
This 2002 was updated to tii specification, which basically means that they added fuel injection. If it was done correctly this could be a welcome upgrade. It could be switched back to carbs though if needed. There are no photos of the engine included in the listing so it would be a good idea to request a few photos or take a look at the car in person.
The rest of the car looks very original with the exception of the steering wheel and rims. We like the looks of the minilite look rims and the M1 wheel does not look too out of place. We would probably want to stick a black Momo Prototipo on there and sell the M1 wheel.
The rear widow is foggy so the top will need to be repaired or replaced. We are not sure how hard these are to source and you may end just having to have someone make it from scratch.
Our biggest concern with this car is the rust the the rear shock towers. Luckily the seller is including new tower metal to make the repair. This car is a special model, so if you know what you are doing this car would be worth saving. http://www.barnfinds.com/summer-fun-...002-baur-targa

Thanks to Davey101 in bimmerforums for this post of a craigs list ad for a 1985 E30 TC2 Baur in Washington State! Ad states there are only 7 of these in the US..... we have heard these kind of claims before. Well, I am not so sure of the accuracy of that since we seem to have more than 7 in our records. At any rate, it is indeed a rare car. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ctd/2720005350.html http://video.carsforsale.com/vehiclevideo.aspx?vid=140748622

UPDATE 10/16/2011: Ebay listing belowhas changed. It now states that the car is Miami FL, not Connecticut. !! Seller informs me that he has an offer of $700 for the car, and he prefers to sell rather than relist the auction. Can you top that bid? If so, let me know ASAP so that I can pass that on to the seller!!!

Rusty, apparently, and listed as a 1980, for some reason. It is clearly an E30, so it can't be a 1980. I have sent an email to the seller, so stay tuned.
Interior and top need work. Canvas top is only three years old, but some hardware needs replacing.
This is a really fun car to drive and it looks sharp.
I'm needing 4wheel drive this winter..will consider trade for 4wheel.

This beautiful 1979 316 is up for sale again. We had this in "Baurs For Sale" a year or so ago. 
1985 E30 BMW 323i Baur TC. Condition is poor. It was originally owned by the son of the Prince Spaghetti founder. It was then imported from Germany to my father. He used it for about 10 years. It did not pass inspection in 2001 and was left outside covered for approximately 3 years until the cover disintegrated. The car was then left in the weather from about 2004 until now. The rear plastic window collapsed allowing water in through the opening. The interior needs to be completely redone. The hood is dented in the front by the emblem and the grill is missing. Everything seems to be falling apart but the frame still seems to be in good condition. On the positive side the engine only has 70K, the frame of the Baur top and its components seem to be in working order, the LED sensor display seems to be in a good shape, the rims are in good shape, all the headlight and tail lights look ok, it has the chrome bumpers, and it has a custom wood steering wheel and shifter. Would make a good project car or can be salvaged for parts. I do know it is a very rare car. I read somewhere that only 200 of the Baur TC versions of the 323i were made in 1985. I was offered 1k for the car but figured I would list it to see if I could get more. Bank check or Cash accepted and will only deliver within 50 Miles of Kingston MA for $200. Otherwise will have to be picked up.

When they bought it, it was a mess: dents and dings everywhere, body kit in terrible shape,fLoor pan rust, etc. So they decided to strip it down, and basically start over. Lots of work remains to be done, as you can see, but they are well into the project. We look forward to watching their progress on this restoration.
the project Baur is on the left; the Baur on the right is Baurspotting's 1982 323i Baur #4154. My son, Brian, and I stopped by to visit Scott and Mike on our way home from Bimmerfest East in August 2011.

BMW 2002's are a fairly common sight, but when was the last time you saw one of these? This 1975 BMW 2002 Baur Targa is one of 1,973 produced and although it has some flaws it could make for a fun summer driver. Find it here on eBay in Los Gatos California with bidding at $50 and the reserve unmet.
