Jeembo E30 TC Baur

BMW E30, one of the famous 3 series model in the automotive scene around the world. It had been a choice of every type of people no matter youngsters or oldies automotive lovers.

The boxy shape, sexy lines and quad head lamp giving an imagination of an old school racing car. Just like it predecessor, the BMW E21 and the legendary BMW 2002.

This nice E30 is owned by Jeembo, a workshop owner that really loves continental cars especially BMW. Beside this E30, he also have about two or three other E30 and a pair of Mercedes E230 and W203. This E30 is quite rare if compared that other E30, because it is a limited edition model from Germany, called TC Baur E30. TC stands for top-cabrio and Baur is the name of the inventor of the car. Jeembo had found this rare 'jewel' and had chance to grab it as one of his E30 collection.

I had chance to photo shoot this rare 'jewel' at Putrajaya when Revsphoto himself got an offer from Jeembo to photo shoot this rare baby. Maybe before this all of you had saw the Revsphoto version of this nice beauty photo shoot entry. Thanks to Jeembo, because of him, all of us can see how nice the TC Baur E30 is.

This E30 is still rocking the standard motor, inline 4 cylinder and all of the interior are still in stock condition. For exterior, Jeembo putting some nice Mtech 1 bodykit and rocking Work Equip on the wheels, 17" x 8jj on the front and 17" x 9jj at the back.

Cruising around Putrajaya with pride. Anyone who owns a E30 must know about the rareness of this TC Baur. Thumbs up to Jeembo for owning this rare 'jewel' and brought it back to the street. Anyone who wants to contact with Jeembo, you can just visit his facebook - Jeembo.

Thanks, asuramaru.

BMW E30 TC BAUR

 

 

 

 

Baur spent 4 million Deutschmarks in developing the E30 cabrio, which explains why everything on the car is so perfectly thought out and works so well – but it also explains why the car cost an additional 7000 DM above the basic price of around 21 000 DM. You had to have a lot of money to buy one new. A German road-test in the magazine ‘auto motor und sport’ summed up that, in view of the varied ways the roof could be opened and the high quality, the Baur was worth the money, and added that the public thought so too, because the year’s production (for 1983) had been sold out in advance.

The Baur Cabrios can claim the additional attraction of rarity. Since any E21 or E30s is collectible, the Baur cabrio is doubly attractive – with the added advantage of being a very pleasant car for every-day use.
The market value of a Baur Cabrio today is stable they are holding their value well. They are likely to bring collector-car prices in the future. Surprisingly, in view of their rarity, nearly all Baur parts are still available from BMW Tradition.

Thanks to Jeembo for lending us one whole day for photoshoot. Looking forward for next round. yeah. See him at Jeembo Hotrod FB
