Now for sale a beautiful 1962 BMW 700 Baur Convertible! It has been well cared for, drives wonderfully and looks absolutely stunning in Navy Blue over Red and Black. This is a long ad, but please be sure to read the entire thing - there is a lot of wonderful detail to cover! Let's dive right in!
We purchased the car from a BMW factory employee and (obvious) enthusiast a few years ago. He had restored the car using factory parts, and whereas it is not 100% factory, it is pretty darn close. He took time to make sure the correct dual breather air cleaner as well as other little details were in place. He owned and enjoyed the car for well over 10 years. It came time for him to clear out some space and cash and thankfully he sold the car to us to enjoy.
The Condition and Service:
Let's start on the engine and drivetrain:
-ENGINE
The engine comes to life immediately with a twist of the key. With even a crack of the throttle it, the BMW feels peppy, smooth, loves to rev, and effortlessly pulls away! It really is a quite a special little engine. The engine is free of any issues, shows no major (or really any) leaks. Engine settles into idle quickly and idles well.
Check out the engine bay pics! Clean, tidy and well cared!
-TRANSMISSION
The 4 speed transmission is in nice shape. NO grinds, NO syncro issues. Snug going into each gear.
-SUSPENSION
No bangs, no rough ride, no clunks! The shocks dampen wonderfully! The car is tight in corners, and comfortable on the straights!
-BRAKES
Confident pedal, great pressure with a firm positive stop.
-STEERING
Steering feels good, tight and with no excessive vibrations or play.
Let's continue to the exterior:
-PAINT and BODY
The paint is VERY nice! It is a 8+/9- out of 10 easily. Shiny, beautiful, Navy Blue paint was recently polished, finished and waxed and looks wonderful. It is not the original color, which was white, but has been completely dissembled and painted. No corners cut. Why paint it a different color? Just personal preference. The white original is not much a flattering color for the car, and it was best felt a darker color looked better on the car. I can find NO rust on the car. Clean trunk, floors, shock towers, cowl, etc. Flaws are very minor at best and would represent a car that was well cared for, but enjoyed.
-WHEELS/TIRES
Great shape wheel covers, wheels and tires. Shiny metal on the wheel covers and loads of tread on the tires!
-BUMPERS and BRIGHT WORK
The bumpers are in wonderful shape! No dents, cracks or issues! Chrome is nice all around the car with only minor flaws.
-GLASS/WINDOWS
Not to let a pebble defeat this car, the windshield is great shape, with no chips or sandblasting. The door glass is wonderful shape! Clear and clean!
-CONVERTIBLE TOP
Very nice shape, no tears or frays. Clear plastic back window. The top latches/unlatches easily and goes up and down straight. Convertible top boot is in great shape and included!
Onto the cabin:
-SEATS
The Red seats are in very nice shape! No splits, no worn spots! A button tufting is in great shape, and rear seat in equally good shape.
-DASHBOARD
Nice metal, some light patina on the trim. Great leather under the dash. The dash pad is in nice shape with no cracks, but it is a bit too padded and hangs little too far under the lip. It sags a bit there. Nothing major, but not perfect either. A rpm gauge has been added the steering column.
-DOOR PANELS
Very nice panels, no stains, tears or issues!
-CARPET
Very nice carpet in the car! No heel wear or stains!
-WINDOWS
Windows roll down and up with no issues. Good tracks and no dead rollers.
-STEERING WHEEL
The wheel is in great shape with no major defects or cracking!
Thank You
