How rare is a E30 325iX BAUR type 2?

Morning Jan

Welcome to the Forum

Baur as you are probably aware are a Coach work Company who worked with BMW in the 80's to produce soft top versions of the E30. The conversion wasn't cheap, cost was around £4k in the early 80's !!  

From what I have read due to the cost there were a number of attempts by others as well as some DIY efforts before BMW started to produce their in house models in the 90's

The 325ix was top of the range in the 80's so there would have been less produced in total, and even less going to Baur for conversion. That would indicate to me a rare car indeed

BMW have a Classic Register (send them the Vin) You could also try Baur direct they also will have a Register of every car they converted

Good luck

Good evening Dave,

 

thank you for your feedback. The car is indeed rare & we do have a BMW signed document claiming its 1 out of the 42 ever produced. We were hoping to find more info on the web that could validate the document. Any sites that have BAUR coach work info available?

 

Rgrds,

Jan

I would not rely on the Internet, as depending where you look you will get confusing numbers. Baur converted cars across the range 316 up to the 325ix, they also carried out "customer conversions" so not just chassis supplied to them by BMW but cars brought by customers as two door coupe's. Only Baur will have all the Chassis numbers. From what I read the total for 325ix conversions were 114 over the period that Baur were doing the work for BMW. The letter with the car indicates that it is a genuine car and in 2003 was in Sweden could be a great find.

Go direct to BMW Classic Register and Baur they will have the information.

A quick search showed 

Total Baur production was 10,865 in Europe, and 3,561 in South Africa. This was broken down into the following quantities:

Of these, 1806 units were delivered to the UK.

Hope this helps

Dave
