(1977 - 1982)
Car articles about BMW 320 Baur TC by year
For use in the new Group 5, BMW built a new racing car based on the E21 series saloon in 1976/1977, which could be equipped with a naturally aspirated or turbocharged engine. The two-liter 300 hp naturally aspirated version became the base vehicle for the BMW Junior Team in the 1977 German Racing Championship. This report describes the vehicle used at the time and shows current and historical pictures of the car and the technical components used.
In 1977, the BMW Juniors were shaking up the small division of the German Racing Championship with their new BMW 320 Group 5. Established stars had to fight tooth and nail to keep the fast young drivers in check. In this article, Marc Surer tells us how things went back then, illustrated with pictures of a demonstration drive on the 320 Group 5 in 1977 and historical racing pictures from the time.
Volkswagen Jetta GLI, BMW 320/6 and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta were among the favorites of performance-hungry and sporty family dads around four decades ago. Even today, these practical and well-engined saloons can still impress if you can find them. This driving report compares the sports saloons of the time and shows them in many pictures.
BMW never built a convertible version of the E21 (316 to 323i) in series production. Naturally, the body company Baur was happy to fill the gap and offered the open-top 3-series variant called TC1 for all engine versions. Almost 4600 units were built up to 1982, most of them equipped with a six-cylinder engine. This report is about a rare four-cylinder hardtop convertible and explores the question of whether it is possible to have less convertible fun in the TC1 with two cylinders.
