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.

Very rare and appreciating classic. Had every intention of keeping and enjoying her. Unfortunately circumstances being what they are I'm forced to let her go.

Interior is also very good.
Very minimal work required to get this little gem on the road. Perfect project that won't require much.

1957 Modified Isetta: Baur Style? $2850 Buy It Now on ebay!

Found on the 'Oddimotive' website.  Yes, it is an Isetta..... or it was an Isetta.  It has been ... er .... modified somewhat.  See the seller's text below for details.  :)   That being said, we take a look at it from a "Baur-stle- perspective:  fixed windows---check!  Fold down rear soft top?  Check!  Kind of hard to tell but it looks like that sunroof is ..... removable!  Check!

1957 BMW ISETTA 300 MICRO CAR CUSTOM PROJECT - MICROCAR


Pinellas Park, Florida, USA
$1,650 with ZERO bids and $2,850 BIN price


Now this is a project, obviously, needing completion.  Let us further suppose that you were, say, an Isetta expert, or perhaps an Isetta lover..... wouldn't this be something of a .... temptation?  Especially at $1650 with zero bids and a Buy It Now price of $2850!!









1957 BMW Isetta 300 Micro Car Project

This is a rare convertible Isetta that was cut and stretched to accommodate a Kawasaki 4 cylinder bike motor. Very presentable but not show quality. The motor runs with gas poured in the fuel line. What you see is what you get this car will need finishing but it is a very cool custom micro car that would be great for advertising among other things. This definitely gets a lot of looks. 

I've replaced the front tires so those are new, the master is new along with other brake components but it has been sitting for a few years. Both the rear top and sunroof are new. I do not have a title for this but it will be sold with a bill of sale. Vin tag is included.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 727-409-9663

1969 BMW 2002 Non-Baur "Cabrio" on Ebay in New Jersey



Thanks to Joseph O'Neill for pasting this 'cabrio' in Facebook today.  It is listed on ebay for $30,000! It does not appear to be a Baur, btw.  Check on the notes on the pics to see why.  This is a DIY or aftermarket chop top conversion.





Notice the curving angle where the windshield meets the vent window at the top.  The windshield on the Baur 2002 cabrios meets the fixed vent window to form a sharper angle.  Also note the hinge in the vent window, which means that it can be opened.  Baurs have fixed vent windows.

Seller's comments:

Up for sale my Fathers BMW 1969 2002 . Runs good and is clean. New paint job and new
 brakes. Minor rust under the car . Rare car, not many were made world wide . Great German enginuity .
$30,000 or best offer.
Any questions, do not hesitate.    

Seller is correct about this being a rare car. There were only 200 2002 Voll Cabrios built by Baur.  
And this is not one of them.
