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.

SNOWBOARDING WITH THE NYPD: Casey Neistat!


I love this!  Casey is a local kid.  I know his dad, Barry Neistat, the owner of Muddy Waters Cafe in New London, CT.


Enjoy!





Ha! You go, Casey! Dashing through Manhattan on a snowboard, Casey Neistat makes it onto MarketWatch and the WSJ! Casey is originally from Ledyard,CT and his family owns Muddy Waters Cafe in New London, CT.

Now check out 'The making" of this video!



Kudos, Casey Neistat and crew!  

Baurspotting loves this!

Brilliant!  :)

Small Baur World AGAIN! 1984 BMW 323i TC2 Baur in CA

Thanks to Tom D in bimmerforums for posting this classified ad from Hemmings Motor News!  This is Baur # B-40287.  It is listed in the International Baur Registry*.  The seller states: "It is one of 25 known in USA."  I am not sure what he means by that, because there are certainly many more than 25 E30 TC2 Baurs in the US.  I haven't done a head count recently, but there are at least 100 that Baurspotting knows of, and probably a lot more.  :)

BMW E21 316 Baur + BBS/Kamei Kit/ Recaros in the UK

Here is another of the 5 Baurs I spotted on ebay UK today.  This is an E21 with a body kit.  


RARE BMW E21 316 Baur + BBS/Kamei Kit/ Recaro Interior (Minor TLC/Project)


















Rare BMW E21 Baur - 316 Carb

BMW E21 has been in lockup for last 3 years and sold due to owner losing space

Was MOT'd few years previous before being parked up and sat in clean garage.

I collected this, tested that it all drove fine (I had to replace Waterpump due to it standing for so long) and since then its been sat as I haven't got time to fully recommission and MOT.

It requires few bits to finish, is solid but has been repaired in the past by previous owner. 

Has period Kamei Rear Valance and Sideskirts with Genuine BBS Front Spoiler

All Chromework is nice.

Henna Red polishes up lovely. Doesn't really need any paintwork in my opinion!

Hood is in good condition too, will benefit from clean and treatment and rear window is not ripped (was polished a few months back too)
Interior is VERY nice, with Black Leather original Recaro Seats - albeit not immaculate as you'd expect with this age.

Has Original Leather Tonneau Cover too

No paperwork (does come with V5 etc in my name) but shows 79,XXX on clocks - i believe this to be genuine with only 5 owners and interior condition etc.

This does require Minor TLC so please come and view with an expectation for there to be some jobs to finish. Overall a fantastic opportunity to buy a Minor TLC Project.

Looking for sensible offers with a view to collection with Trailer/Transporter

Collection from Stoke-on-Trent (close to M6 J16)

TEXT ONLY on 07762 875919 due to working shifts or Message through EBAY

If serious, I will be able to call when i get opportunity. 

I am not desperate to sell
£3,499.00
