1982 BMW 323i Baur

1982 BMW 323i Baur
Memorial Day 2010 First Drive 1982 323i BMW Baur Lapisblau M20 5 speed #4154 of 4595 made. The car was imported to California by Dietel Enterprises. I have since changed the wheels, installed the clear turn signal lenses, and I am in the process of installing a new cabriolet roof. I have to do something about those bumpers, too. :) I love this car! To see one of the reasons why, check my post "Score One For the Good Guys" on 6/26/2011.

Thanks to Mike E. of the BMW CCA Puget Sound Region and the Lemay Family Collection in WA for sending this unusual offering!

Looks quite Baur-like, does it not?
How about this video!

Introducing the 

1989 Toyota Soarer Turbo 7MGTE AEROCABIN!


Thanks, Mike!  We have posted pics of the Toyota Celica GT Sunchaser before (also thanks to Mike E. btw!) but I have never heard of this one before now!

Without further ado, I present the 1989 Toyota Soarer Aerocabin!

The roof disappears!
