Highlights

Rare Baur targa-style convertible variant of the E30
Major service carried out approximately 100 miles ago
MOT valid until August 2027 with no advisories
Comes with stamped service booklet, BMW handbook manuals, wallet and two keys

The Appeal

The BMW E30 Baur is amongst the rarer derivatives of the much-loved E30 range. Produced by Baur in Stuttgart, these targa-style convertibles offered open-air motoring with the structural rigidity of a fixed-roof car, and today they are increasingly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. This 1986 example pairs the smooth 2.0-litre inline-six with a five-speed manual gearbox, a desirable combination.

Showing 37,000 miles believed to be correct, this 320i Baur has been repainted from its original Polaris Silver to Alpine White. The seller notes that the white finish complements the blue houndstooth cloth interior particularly well. A major service was carried out in August 2026, and the car holds a current MOT valid until August 2027 with no advisories. Accompanied by a stamped service booklet, BMW handbook manuals and two keys, this is an appealing opportunity to acquire one of these increasingly collectible Baur conversions.
