325i Baur....my fun car for track days and autosolos

[walrus1968]

Here is my 1986 325i Baur in Lapis Blue. Its just a fun car for track days and autosolos as well as a bit of summer fun. Im not a purist, I just want it to look,run and sound to my liking. Its not finished yet. I still have lowering springs 40mm to fit, better headlights and fog lamps to find, race seats and harness's to get, a cover for when the roof is down, a bit of bodywork to do next to the towing eye at the back as well as a few other bits and bobs.
I know this might not be to everyone's taste or liking but if we all liked the same things then life would be boring.

Thank you....i didnt pay very much for it either and since doing the head gasket and timing belt as well as redrilling and tapping the exhaust manifold studs im more than happy with it...having loads of fun in it.

would be a shame to just use it for the track

well i fully intend to use it on sunny days. I intend to do autosolos every month in it too so it will get good use.

I really like this, wish I still had mine

P.s. There's a tonneau on fleebay with a hole in it for £50

Please get those nasty wheels off!

and get a cage if you are doing track days.

did you see top gear a few weeks back in the SAAB goodbye edition? they dropped an old E30 on its head and it was an awful sight. flat as a pancake! same effect if you roll on a track day. you are basically fcuked!

[Baurtje]

Ever seen a real-rolled E30?

Here 2 Baur's that rolled. The first 6 times, the second only once.

This picture was used in the Baur-brochure, to show how safe a Baur is.

Looks in geat condition. But as above the wheels dont suit the car

[baur320]

That's impressive Jeroen

[rix313]

Looks like a lovely clean car, it's just them wheels

[pac1982]

Why track a baur? Looks a real nice car apart from those nasty rims, but it's gonna look really silly stripped out with buckets, roll cage and race seats please dont be a silly boy

[walrus1968]

Paint looks very good for a 86 car.

Most track cars have a roof due to better handling, hows the handling on those large wheels?

She looks a hundred times better,once you've lowered she will be even sweeter!!
