The 1987 BMW TC Baur is a special piece of automotive history that marks a chapter in BMW's experimentation with different body styles. BMW, known for its innovative technology and driving dynamics, partnered with coachbuilder Baur to create a unique variant of their models. The TC Baur is based on the BMW E30, one of the most iconic series that cemented BMW's reputation as the "ultimate driving machine." What makes this version special is the targa-like roof concept. This semi-cabrio design combined the advantages of open driving while maintaining rigidity and safety, something Baur made its mark as a specialist.
The collaboration between BMW and Baur began as early as the 1960s, but peaked with the models of the 1980s. The TC Baur versions of the E30 are rare and cherished by enthusiasts because of their unique appearance and the commitment of the renowned coachbuilder. The targa roof is fully removable, as is the rear section of the roof, making the car a versatile driving experience. The unique lines of the E30 are enhanced by Baur's modifications, with the design staying true to the original sporty and elegant look that so characterizes BMW.
This particular example, from a private collection, is in drivable condition. The fact that the car was part of a collection for many years suggests that it has been well preserved, although some maintenance is recommended before putting the car back on the road. This is not unusual for a car of this age and helps preserve the original driving experience and reliability. It is an opportunity to own a rare BMW with a special story, one that reflects both BMW's and Baur's passion for innovation and driving pleasure.
The driving experience of the TC Baur offers the best of both worlds: the driving precision and dynamics that BMW is known for, combined with the freedom of open-road driving. The characteristic engine sound of the six-cylinder engine is amplified by the open roof, making every drive a special experience. For those looking for something unique and authentic, this BMW TC Baur is an excellent choice, a reminder of an era when craftsmanship and innovative design came together in a special and eye-catching model.
To get a good idea of the car, we recommend coming to one of the viewing days.
