Found this on TC Baur Facebook page but, since he never cites the source of his material, I don't know where it originally came from.

TC Baur, please post links to the source of the material you post.  Give credit where credit is due.  It is only fair to those who originally post the material.

Thanks to Baur Eta for posting this 1965 advertisement in Facebook today.

This ad may have contributed to the confusion around the origin of the BMW Roundel.    Lots of folks have believed that roundel was based on an airplane propeller image, but in fact, the Roundel (circa 1917) preceded the propeller image (circa 1929) by about 12 years.

Here is a discussion of the issue:

BMW Erfahrung  according to Google translate, means BMW Experience, btw.

6/10/2012                      April fools...

Did you know that BMW celebrates April fools day?

In the UK, BMW's marketing team publishes different adverts in the newspaper... Only on April fools day. The adverts are humorous, and quite intelligent. 

6 series Cabriolet

TC1 Baur

3.0CSL: 3.0-liter, six-cylinder fuel-injected M30 engine. 1265 units were produced between 1972 and 1975. - http://bit.ly/tltNqv

Baur TC2 Advertising

1981 E12 M535i Ad from the UK featuring the E26 M1 Procar

from: 

Classic and Vintage BMW Enthusiasts

Thanks for the ad above to Jimbo R. in Facebook:http://www.facebook.com/groups/104774723119/10150547114158120/?notif_t=group_activity#!/groups/E21Legion/

This advertisement touts the unique features of the Baur, calling it 4 cars in 1, a reference to the 4 different possible configurations of the roof:   the Coupe, the Targa, the Landaulet, and the Cabriolet.  Each configuration is shown at the bottom of the ad, from left to right.

Baurspotting has learned that the Baur depicted in the pic above is Baur #000001.  We believe this ad is from the initial campaign introducing the BMW Baur TC1 for the first time. 

Here are the other pages from that advertisement:

Note that Dietel Enterprises, Mission Viejo, CA is listed as a distributor at the bottom of the ad.

 This is actually a book, not an ad... and, well,  ok, it NOT the James Taylor you may be thinking of.

Thanks to the folks at Paul of Fame blog for this ad!

Check out their E21 engine swap project!

The Mother Lode of Isetta advertisements!

Steve Urkel's Isetta, from the TV show, "Family Matters".

Chimney sweeps are believed to bring good luck in Germany.

From David Rose's web page.

1965 BMW 1800.  The ad is for Hoffman, a dealer in the NY area who was very influential, if not largely responsible, for bringing the BMW to the US in larger numbers in those days.

Check out these articles on Max Hoffman:

Electric Drive BMW in 1972!

Advertisement poster "Schrittmacher" BMW 1602 with electric drive at the Olympic Games 1972

"That thang got a hemi?"

1919 BMW "delivers' ad

One of my all-time favorites:

What you need to know about this ad is that it is an April Fool Joke, appearing in Roundel Magazine in March 1981.  Just in time for April Fool's Day, naturally.

If you have an ad that you would like to see posted here (with proper attribution to you), just shoot me an email:  tom82baur@gmail.com
