1971 BMW 2002 Cabriolet by Baur

This 1971 BMW 2002 is one of 200 full cabriolets built by Baur over a sixth-month production run and was completed on June 21, 1971. A refurbishment was carried out by Oldenzaal Classics in the Netherlands and completed in early 2019, after which the car was acquired by the selling dealer and imported to the US. The powertrain was rebuilt during the project, including the numbers-matching 2. 0-liter M10 inline-four. A cabriolet variant of the BMW 1600 with coachwork by Karosserie Baur was first offered in 1967, and production carried over to the 2002 model after its introduction in 1971. Only 200 cabriolets were built with a 2. 0-liter engine before safety regulations inspired a shift to a targa design for the remainder of production through 1976. The black soft top is shown above in its raised position. Steel 13� wheels wear polished covers with branded centers and are mounted with Uniroyal RainExpert 3 tires showing 2019 date codes. European-market lighting includes round taillights and flush front turn signals.
