1981 BMW 323i E21 BAUR (3292/4595) CONVERTIBLE ~ RARE NOW! For Sale

We have great pleasure in offering this, quite rare, BMW 323i Baur Convertible. Brody was born in 1981 as a 2315cc convertible dressed in his original & elegant blue coat complimented with blue velour interior trim. He comes with the original Alpina style turbine alloy wheels with good tyres all round. Lovingly cared for by the previous custodian for the last 18 plus years during which time he underwent a light & sympathetic restoration to his former glory. Showing what appears to be a genuine 95k miles on the clock. Unbelievably over thirty eight years young this 1980's 'Bird Puller' turns many heads as they are a rare sight on our roads today. Brody is presented with an MOT until May 2020 with no advisories. Will be MOT & Tax exempt in just over 2 years at which point the prices will soar!!!
The BMW E21 was the first of the 3-series range, introduced in 1975 to replace the -02 series and remained in production until the E30 replacement arrived in 1983.

Top of the range cars were two-door Baur's, with the larger six-cylinder engine as we have here in 323i form. Produced from 1979 until 1982, it was built in comparatively low numbers and boasted strong performance with the dash to sixty taking just 8. 7 seconds, aided no doubt by its Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection giving 141bhp from its 2. 3 litre M20 engine.

Mated to manual transmission and rear wheel drive, with no real driver aids, the tails were considered somewhat lively on wet roads, gaining a reputation for being 'widow makers', a bit like the 911s of the same era!

Brody is the rare 2. 3L 6-cylinder allowing the car to have more power and that beautiful 6-cylinder note that pops and cracks that will make you just want to keep driving around. This BMW does not just stop there from making it rare, it is the 323I Karosserie Baur, a Stuttgart-based coachbuilder (Number A003292 of 4595 produced).

Baur was name of the models and they became a targa E21 BMW also known as TC (Top Cabrio) and this being the first model of the TC's it is the TC1.

There were only very few E21 TC1 323I Baur's made, only 1659 were produced.

Lots more pictures available on request ZERO SEVEN SEVEN THREE NINE - THREE TWO NINE THREE EIGHT NINE.

Enthusiasts will debate for decades to come which M3 was the best. Any of you that know me will be aware that my roots date back to the revered E30 M3. I grew up with them and love homologation specials with competition pedigree. That said, one would argue that the E46 M3 will go down in the history books as the most all ...
