Sad thread for me. In the 70's and half way through the '80s these Baurs were the most desirable BMW on the road for me. The full cabriolet, as the convertible was known, consigned the Baurs to just wannabe cabs. And there they have stayed despite 20 years of vintage!
Selection of BMW hardtops available, please ask!
