[james]

i own a 323i e30 baur,any others around,would love to chat and exchange ideas..

 

[roland1888]

I know of one. PM kennytey.

 

[jackyhong]

cabriolet is it means two doors also?

 

[KiNaKa]

i have one 89' 325i cabrio.

where do you from dude ????

i would like to know something about the roof...

 

[e21jbk]

Hi ,I ve seen Two Baur . One White and another Yellow color in Kajang. Is this yours ?

 

[fabianyee]

cabriolet is it means two doors also?

I have not seen any 4 doors cabrio before, not just for BMW, any marque for that matter... My guess it that it's technically challenging to build a chassis for a 4 door open top cabrio..

However, I think i've seen 1 vintage IMP 4 doors cabrio in Ipoh..

Nope..for a 2 Dr car with 'fixed' or unremoveable roof will be a Coupe..jus like urs jacky..

Cabriolet is for cars..normally 2Drs with 'softtop' or removeable hardtop..:burnout:

Got myself an e30 325iA convertible recently.

First impressions, its a nice car but scuttle shake very noticeable.Over bumps heck of a lot of rattling from the back. Probably need complete suspension rebuild. Anyone else have the same experience?

 

[james]

hmm,a little shake and rattle is quite normal for cabriolets and baurs,cos is a soft top,and the roof is a little flexible,for my baur,i am using frt and rear strut bars,feels much better with them,dont stiffen or lower the car too much cause ride would be too harsh,and everything would strat shaking and rattling,thts a mistake i made...though car looks awesome,lowered with bbs rims,but ride too harsh and lots of rattle frm roof..am planning to change to hot bits springs and standard shocks,at the moment am on bilstein black and sach sports springs..

I had the same problem before, but it was solved by just changing out the rear mountings. I've replaced my standard suspension with eibach springs and sach performance shocks and the car still rides decently, not too bumpy but then again, my car's only on 16inch rims. I've attached some pics of my ride during a recent drive.....

My ex-boss had one in 1980. There is one in Section 5 PJ. Dark gold, "TT" number plate. Body looks in good condition.

THANKS Armi. Not quite yet. Everything's almost done except for the hood. Still contemplating whether I should order one through the net or get one customised here locally. If you have one, I would definitely appreciate any feedback on this or any other owners whose change their hood before, please help me out.
