"Car has usual rust blisters on back arches and side windows"

I normally hate Baurs but that doesn't look too bad with the mtech1 kit on..

[Rtaylor2208]

Looks like its got a tech II spoiler on it which doesn't really go with the tech 1 kit. I reckon that could break for decent money if had cheap enough.

Stil cant see the rust on the rear windows though

[magpie]

if he sells it for lees than half the asking price it would be a decent breaker if not you will have no morsels left after you break even and make little profit from the remaining mundane scrap .


i would say a baur is probably less prone to rot than a cab but if it's had that kit fitted from factory and it's never been cleaned out properly then it's fooked!

[pacerpete]

Baurs commonly rot at the base of the side window where the C post is cut to do the Baur conversion. I assume their rustproofing on the cut/modified parts was less than ideal.

M20 with Weber Carb This Peasent probably has an e21 engine fitted

[Speedtouch]

Doesn't state the size of the M20, either - could be 2.0, 2.3, 2.5 or even 2.7+

[Alex]

Most likely a 320 engine from a e21

[magpie]

are cabs like tourings ....all have 51mm struts and rear discs ?

[pacerpete]

Not baurs.

Yes, as above, all convertibles had 51 legs and rear discs, even the lowly 318.

HI some TC s like mine were factory lowered ,
and 51 s would definatley not fit ,
but i am enjoying the chat about the TC s it makes a change from the norm
theres not that many on the road at the moment , perhaps being restored
like my engine at the moment ,
just trying to keep it original,

When you say factory lowered i take it you mean M technic suspension as that was the only suspension upgrade available as a factory fit option.

Also, a 51mm front strut will fit any E30 apart front the 325iX which has a completely different front suspension layout due to it being 4wd.

My 318is baur has 51mm strufs and rear disc's

Thats because its a 318iS base car for the Baur conversion and all 318iS's had the 51mm struts and rear discs as standard.

They also all had M technic suspension as standard.
