    E36 Sedan Cab?

    I'm sure I've seen this before somewhere but I cannot find it either on this forum or anywhere else. Is this a very rare 4dr cab or did someone take it upon themselves to remove the roof from a normal E36 sedan? Anyone seen one in the flesh, does it work??

    http://www.6enligne.net/html/modeles...oiture=46&id=3

    It's the 11'th one from the top on the models list. Also, anyone ever seen/owned/driven a B8 E36? I want one!

    its called a baur iirc.

    EDIT:

    and according to your link yes it is called a baur. pretty sure its just a very rare model, probably only in europe or som crap. there is actually a member on here with an e30 baur, so im sure bmw made a few e36 ones as well.

    Never seen or heard about a Baur E36. Even the Baur E30 was a 2 door which didn't look as ridiculous. To the OP, I know a guy in London who has a B8 E36 coupe. Top speed around 192 mph. The best Alpina ever IMO. I wish I could buy it off him.

    I actually looked at a baur 318ti when i was looking fr my car.
    They're cool i suppose, but I'd never get one.

    How very odd. Looks kind of like a Saab.

    At first glance my thoughts were "HFS THAT'S SO COOL!!!"

    But then I actually looked at it...it's rather gross.

    That's just an e36 Ti with the "California roof".

    E30 Baurs are common here, but e36, not so much!

    325iX Baur & more
    It is actually a lot more work than you would think:


    The reason why Baur made this 4-door convertible is very simple: BMW wouldn't let them convert the coupe.

    In total there where 310 Baur TC4 (TC1=E21, TC2=E30, TC3="Z1"-coupe) build, from 316i to 328i and 318/325tds.

    Some months ago I helped selling/buying the most expensive TC4 build, a 325i Automatic. Back then, this car costed about the same as a M3 convertible.

    Baur TC4 C20189-23, 325i Automatic.

    Some other curious TC4:


    C20274: the only 318iS TC4.



    C20301: 325td Automatic in Dakargelb




    C20059: 320i Automatic.

    Thanks for the pics.. Looks like an old school convertible rabbit.. That just looks wrong.

    On another note.. I need to de-lens my projectors.

    I think the concept is cool:

    parcticality of 4dr + fun on a vert = good idea

    however:

    4 solid door tops + cheap looking soft-top = terrible asthetics.

    Maybe it would look ok if they could find a way of using pillarless doors on the rear and the front, would have to be a custom job though. I've seen it before though (Peugeot 206cc does it), not with 4 doors but the middle window seal/pillar on the smaller rear quarters on some cars moves down with the window... support for the rear door might be weak though as it would just be a stumpy post??

    NB: This is not something I am going to attempt... I'm just thinking out loud.

    I think it would look pretty cool in a coupe.
