Few weeks ago i got myself beautiful koronagelb baur. I was always 6 series fan but kept my eyes on e21 for quite a long time. Unfortunately e21 share a sad story here in Poland. Some years ago, most cheap e21 were imported from germany and used as a daily drivers. Salty roads and careless drivers of cheap BMW made these cars hard to find in good condition. Actually most of them are complete rust buckets and it is so very hard to find a good one. That said i was offered car of my dreams. Beautiful yellow 1978 BAUR 318. It was updated with m20b20 engine in Germany but apart of this is an original car. Previous owner was a collectionner and bought it 10 years ago with an intention of restoring. He was known to buy best possible cars from Germany and bring it back to better than factory specs. Car remained on restoration waiting list for a long time until month ago he was forced to sell all his cars (more than 200 from with more than 120 already restored). Among like new pagodas, 2002s, and other rare cars there he stood. I got it for almost nothing as my friend who bought few mercedes and bmws from him got it as a part of a deal.
I'm absolutely in love with this car. It is already in the garage for suspension overhaul. I'll plan to rebuild engine but still not sure if I want to keep m20b20 or replace it with proper m10b18 engine. I enjoy working with it a lot!
Don't have new pics just these when i first sow it
