Hi, I used to have a Baur convertible - D reg 318i. It was a really nice car - there was no scuttle shake at all, since the roof rails from the saloon are still in place. And the options for hood down are great - all, or part can be removed - and you can use the 'roof' part as a sun roof/vent by opening it just a little. Way more practical than the full convertible. No reduction in luggage space, either. I guess it was a little heavier than the saloon - funnily enough it felt even more solid than the saloon version, aybe had extra strengthening or somthing. I missed it when I lost it (company car), even though the replacement was a full convertible.

Red Baur 318i - last seen 10 years ago in Arran - maybe on holiday like I was.

Can't remember the letters for the red 320 Convertible I had - F 909 summat.
