1985 BMW 3 Series TC Baur review from Netherlands
"Fun car, real head turner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car didn't idle, had to drill the stationary nozzle a bit bigger.
Replaced the soft top, don't try to get the windshield out without cutting the rubber around it!!!
General comments?
Restored the car, had to do a lot of welding due to a leaking soft top.
These cars are becoming rare these days, very much fun to drive.
This car is a real head turner, due to its nice green metallic color and lowered suspension (but I should have bought a 325 in stead of a 316!)
