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.

New Cabrio Targa Spotted In South Carolina!

UPDATE October 22, 2018: We have new information today, thanks to Don Bower in 2002FAQ and Oldenzaal Classics in The Netherlands: this beauty wa sold by Oldenzaal Classics to Scott and Fran Hughes to add to their notable collection. It came from Rome. Oldenzaal Classics also sent along a new photo!
More photos from Oldenzaal!

Thanks to Mike Pugh and 73tiiDavidPA in the 2002FAQ for alerting me to this 'new to the USA" Cabrio Targa by Baur!  It was spotted by David at the Euro Auto Fest in Greenville, SC this weekend, and he mentions that it just recently arrived in the US from Italy.  I have heard rumors of a new Cabrio Targa coming to the US, but I am not sure if this is the one.  This is the first I have seen this car, however, so if anyone has any info to share, please send it along! It will be greatly appreciated!  ;)  We don't get a good view of the license plates in these photos, so I cannot even be sure what state it is from.




So, thanks to Mike for alerting me to the FAQ post, and thanks to David for posting it there!  Stay tuned.... we will share more when we HAVE more info!  ;) 







On their way to their new owners!  Photo is from August 2018.

Thank you, Paul!  

A 1984 Volvo 340 Baur-Type??? What!!!?? € 19.900

Volvo 3401.4 Cabrio, Enige ter wereld!

(Only in the world!)
€ 19.900

THIS is why Jeroen Janssen is considered the Baur Guru! This is the Volvo 340 Cabrio, one of only two ever built, and you will notice the Baur-style roof! Those appear to be Baur parts in the roof, and Jeroen is trying to track down more info. Stay tuned! Kudos, Jeroen!  








Here are Jeroen's comments in his post in Facebook today:
"Today I visited Volvo-dealer Harrie Arendsen in the east of the Netherlands. Within their collection of classic Volvo’s they also have an almost unique (two where build) 340. And as most of you will recognize, they used Baur-parts for this conversion. I’ll try to find out if Baur was also partner within this conversion. And many thanks to Volvo Harrie Arendsen for giving me the opportunity to have a look at this car, since it is in their storage."


Van deze 340 cabrio uit 1984 zijn er slechts twee op de hele wereld. Met nog geen 20.000 (!) kilometer op de teller is deze witte klassieker nét ingereden en klaar voor nieuwe avonturen. Zodra de zachte kap naar beneden gaat, het gaspedaal ingetrapt wordt en u de wind voelt wapperen, begint het genieten. De rode bekleding van de stoelen als de deurportieren geven het geheel een karakteristieke uitstraling.


Google Translate: 
Only in the world From this 340 convertible from 1984 there are only two in the world. With less than 20,000 (!) Kilometers on the odometer, this white classic has just been broken in and ready for new adventures. As soon as the soft hood goes down, the accelerator pedal is pressed and you feel the wind flutter, the enjoyment begins. The red upholstery of the seats as the door doors give the whole a characteristic appearance.

Thanks for posting, Jeroen!  We look forward to learning more about this car!  ;)
