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.

Thomas Kirstan's 2002 Baur Cabrio Targa in Germany!

You may recall that our friend, Andreas Therstappen, sent us some pics recently from the Silvretta Classic Rally in Austria in which he drove his 1958 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.  The pics included some other cars that participated in the rally with him, one of which was a 2002 Baur Cabrio Targa.

Yesterday, I received a bunch of pics from Thomas Kirstan of Germany---- the owner of that very same Cabrio Targa! ------ with the following message:

"Hi there!
I'm Thomas from Germany and found this site a few minutes ago. Maybe you're interested in some pictures of my 2002 BAUR Top-Cabriolet.."


Yes!  We sure are interested, Thomas!  

Welcome to Baurspotting!   ;) 

Here are the two pics sent to me by Andreas:


Now here are the pics that Thomas sent yesterday:







This is all we know about this little beauty for now, but we are hoping to learn more soon.  We will share it when we have it, so stay tuned!  ;)

Congratulations to Thomas and welcome to Baurspotting! 

More Pics!

Our Friend Andreas Therstappen at the Silvretta Classic 2016: Black Cadillac!

Our friend and fellow Baur owner, Andreas Therstappen is participating in the 2016 Silvretta Classic Rally in Austria this week with his wife, Kristel Schild, and he has very graciously sent us some pics.  Andreas, you may recall, owns the famous TC1 Baur #000001 and Baur #004595, the first and last E21 Baurs!  He is not using his Baurs in this rally, however.  He is using his restored 1958 Cadillac Coupe DeVille!  Whoa!  Here it is:

This is a 4 day rally, btw, and here are some of the other cars participating!  Yes, there are Baurs in The Mix, of course!  


Here is one, for example. I believe that this may be a 1956 502 Baur convertible, similar to the one owned by Lothar Schuettler in Maryland, USA.

A few more shots of the 502 Baur! 




Gorgeous! 
 Voll Cabrio by Baur!  It looks like a 1600!



Corvette!





 Thanks for the pics, Andreas, and have a great time!   ;)

Sports Car Restoration 2002 Cabrio Targa Project Update!

Our friends at Sports Car Restoration (SCR) in Plainville, CT posted a quickie video today of one of their projects:  this 2002 Cabrio Targa!  Woo hoo!  


Here is the short video:

This is their caption to the video above:

"Baur Power! Here is a 2002 Baur floor pan replacement project. The center Baur-specific body/tub components have been preserved and carried over to a healthy floor pan. These few pictures do not properly illustrate the immense amount of time and planning to make these few maneuvers happen so seamlessly."

Baurspotting Heroes!  Kudos to our friends at SCR, Plainville, CT!

Now THIS is what you call a project car, boys and girls!  Wow!   ;)
