The Bolesworth Castle March 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1983 BMW 320i Baur Cabriolet
***NO RESERVE***
Registration – IIB 4625
Chassis No. – WBAAA320509496843
M.O.T. – None
Odometer – 123,222
With summer finally just around the corner, many enthusiasts contemplate the merits of convertible motoring, and there are few more memorable soft top designs than the ones Baur carried out on the first three generations of 3 Series BMWs. Though of unusual structure, they were built to last, as confirmed by the E30 320i example on offer here now offered for sale with no reserve and in need of recommisioning after a period of storage.
Now in its seventh generation, BMW’s 3 Series is an automotive phenomenon and unique among the world’s executive expresses. Since succeeding the 2002 model in 1975, it has generally accounted for 30 per cent of the company’s annual car sales, is the bestselling car in its class, almost as well known in America, Asia and Australia as it is in Europe, and has frequently outsold much cheaper rivals. The model’s second incarnation, the E30, took to the roads in 1982. During its 10-year production run it could be purchased in no less than five body styles – two and four-door saloon, five-door Touring and two-door convertible.
