BMW 2002 Baur Convertible
After the 700 came the Neue Klasse for BMW. Once again, Baur produced the convertible version. Initially (just like the 501 and 700), it was fully open. However, due to the sporty character BMW had acquired, the convertible was also driven sportily, and the fully open version proved not rigid enough for this. To remedy this, a type of Targa roll bar was used. With this design, the hard central panel was removable, and the rear window could be folded down. This construction would become a defining feature of the later BMW Baur TCs. The first BMWs made by Baur in this way came from the O02 series. Incidentally, there was also a full convertible based on the O02 series. The BMW Baur we are presenting here comes from Italy. It is a silver-grey one with beautiful fabric upholstery that suits the car very well. The car shifts, brakes, and steers very well. A fine touring car with a sporty side. For the open-top driving enthusiast.
