Wow, I bet that is a blast to drive. All the tough stuff has been done. Looks good in Fjord. Wish they would have a eliminated the front fender mounted parking lights when they did the bumper swap. These are great looking cars in Euro set up. A couple weekends detailing the interior and engine compartment and off you go.
Eight, count em, eight speakers that I can see. I think I'd rather listen to the s38 unwind.

Cool...looks like a lot of fun.
Looks like an old Dixie in the background (yellow/grey)?

From the VIN it’s a 528i Automatic, with a 530 badge? I don’t see that getting anywhere near $20K, it has lots of cosmetic issues. And those seats......

Sorry Chris, I might have to disagree with you on this one - which is rare! I think this car has a lot going for it. It would be hard to put all of that together for 20K, I think it could bring that kind of money. Personally, I love those Recaros but I'd have them reupholstered to match the rest of the interior.
I tend to agree. Electric Recaro Ideal C’s
came out in the late 70’s, so period correct. These have funky lower bolsters so I can’t put my finger on them. They look like factory seats from an audi.
A low mileage 79 528i with a five speed went for $15K on BaT, it was very, very nice. I just don’t think the S38 can overcome everything this e12 needs. It has the same issues which hampered his CSL from getting top dollar bids.
That’s a Terry Sayther car. That S38 used to reside in his Golf CSL. You can bet this e12 scoots.
Edit... that appears to be an M88, not an S38

It is hard to put a price on his cars, because he builds them for himself and what he has on hand. I’m guessing he realizes this to some extent & that’s why he says “price negotiable.” He dropped the price on the E24 he’s been trying to sell for quite a while. I’m assuming he has plenty of space & not much urgency to sell. But he has quite a few for sale right now. I think these are all his or he’s selling down to the E24.
If these are all his, he definitely has, uhhh, INTERESTING taste in wheels.
Terry’s been fixing BMWs in that same shop for many decades. The “annex” as he calls it... sooooo many spares. If the wheel fits, wear it.
Tundra coupe and shop looks kinda familiar. @Peter Coomaraswamy

I know I’m in the minority but I’ve always like the square tail lights better. As long as they have the euro bumpers of course.BMW 1975 BAUR Targa 2002 - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle...

No offense to current owners but Baur’s do nothing for me. I think it is because the form factor of the 70’s-80’s BMW c-pillar is so paramount for me.

i agree with Markos.... those Baur's design never got it "right" ....no more a "BMW" ...more a wifeys convertible car with good BMW mechanics ?
Fat bottom girls, you make the rocking world go round...but not in this case..Too much lower mass.
I used to have an E30 325e Baur. First BMW I ever restored. Can't speak for other models but use to go like a rocket. Perhaps it was the feeling of the wind (or ice/rain) in your hair with the roof down. Or, that feeling with the roof up that it could be torn off at any moment and I'd be sucked out and carried off like Dorothy to the Land of Oz...
