[Dezzy]

James you scottish boys only see about 5 days of sun a year. You need a water tight hard top surely? Ha Ha.

to be honest with you I do have a soft spot for a well sorted Baur but the misses says im on a one car limit untill 2011 so it was either the sport or the Baur I was tempted but ........ I think ill start looking for another Baur at the end of next year...

[George]

Convertible FTW, you know it's right

Agreed

^Yep.

[Baurtje]

James noooooooooooooo
2.7 tech 1 sport focus mate.

I know Dez ive been having nasty thoughts about doing a Baur with the 2.7 and the hartge goodies.. but was out in the garage earlier looking at the tech1 ............. think the tech1 is winning in my feelings

Tech I Baur

[Cotty]

Guess which I picked

touring FTW for me.
the only one i would rather have would be a M3 arched touring.

Which of course would be RHD

[The_Diddler]

Cant believe nobody is voting for the "Moredoor" Rightness, no taste i say, no taste

[Ollie_bwoii]

My fault for introducing 'em late I think a lot of folks would have a cabby or a baur as a second car alongside a two door for the three days of sunshine we get each year

[jbh]

id have a Baur over a full convertible but thats just my taste..

[Rav335uk]

Convertible

[bss325i]

Oh surprise surprise, look whats winning!

2dr saloon FTW!

Com'on Barry, you know why, their sooooooooo common

[Ilkorin]

Touring all the way! I can move house with it and still pester the chavs!

[jbh]

no offence against any convertible owners here but having had one in the family ( the wife wanted one ) I just think of them as a womens car..

[polsta]

surely this is pretty pointless ?

ie....different types of people with different needs would like and own or want to buy a soft top or a touring ? , people with kids might prefer/need a 4 door, etc, and due to numbers people/most popular would probably be a 2 door saloon, as theres probably more owners of them ?

[shedrool83]

Got to be the 4 door for me,2 doors are a pita when you have kids or mates

[Rav335uk]

My cab is a "Family" runabout in the summer as the kids love the open top.
It's down to the owner at the end of the day on how he/she uses the car.

[Z3I]

592 views of this poll, and only 90 vote! Less than 1 in 6! Not much hope for the General election next year.

If they had all voted, the cabby would be way out in front of course.

[jbh]

surely this is pretty pointless ?

It is but its a bit of fun...

[bss325i]

Values dictate that 2drs are more desireable.

[jbh]

thats why my misses has the Audi avant

[gareth]

i guess the definitive answer would be the original sales figures for each.
you have to be pretty sure what version you like best to buy that one brand new.

does anyone know how many of each variant were manufactured?

Cheers James - I assume you'll now be walking to the meet this Saturday?
(and it's NOT convertible, it's a cabrio!)

lol nice place for a wedding.. you taking the riot gear ?

[barrymate]

have you got any pics of a Rappold

Gr Jeroen

that's cool, was it a one off?

looks like the bmw version of a bobtail rangerover

[Nay]

2 doors are very nice. My project car is a 2 dr.

Moredoors are great for practicallity and still look good.

Tourings (which I voted for) are my favourite when done "right"... A standard dog-hauller is not a nice sight, but tech2'd, m-tech tailgate spoiler, nice wheels etc can look sooo, sooo good.

But, terms of resale, popularity, and everything... the M3 shell is something else.

does anyone know how many of each variant were manufactured?

But they were not all made at the same time (convertable, salon, touring etc) so not as easy as that

[Simon13]

hmm 2dr and tourings leading i've 1 of each. I had a 4 door once, didn't like it. Remember folks you can have 4doors with a big boot!

Touring sales were strong right from their launch till the end

true. tourings / cabs started later and ended later.
their later sales would have been a bit lower as most people would have opted for the newer E36

average sales per year on sale would work i guess. if anyone knows how many were made

[Hyperion]

I voted Baur, because i own one.
Interesting titbit about the baur body style is that it is the lightest of the e30 shells.

[Simon13]

well it would be they cut the bloody roof off!
