About the BMW 2002 Baur Cabriolet E10 Chamonix White AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast BMW 2002 Baur Cabriolet reproduces the open-top E10 in Chamonix White, with opening doors and bonnet. This is a used model; the box shows traces of storage, the casting itself unaffected. A compact, distinctive open-top for a classic BMW collection.

The Baur conversion kept a fixed roll bar while removing the roof panel, a compromise that gave the boxy 2002 an open-air option without full convertible flex, and that structural quirk is visible in AUTOart's careful tooling around the roofline.

Diecast Detailing of the Baur Conversion

AUTOart's zinc alloy build gives this small coupe real substance in the hand, heavier than its compact footprint might suggest. The Chamonix White paint sits clean and even, a shade that suits the 2002's simple, upright body lines better than a metallic finish would. The roll bar structure, unique to the Baur conversion, is picked out with enough definition to read clearly at 1:18, and the opening doors and bonnet reveal a tidy engine bay and cabin behind glazing that sits flush against the surrounding metal. As a used example, expect light handling wear typical of age; the box shows traces of storage while the model itself remains unaffected.

The 2002 Baur's Place in BMW History

The BMW 2002 helped establish the compact sports sedan formula that later defined the 3 Series, and the Baur-converted Cabriolet offered open-air driving without sacrificing the structural rigidity a full convertible would lose. It remains a favourite among enthusiasts who value the 2002's simple, honest engineering over later, more complex generations.

Placing the Baur Cabriolet in a Collection

This model suits a classic BMW theme or an open-top collection where compact European sports sedans sit alongside larger coupes and roadsters. Its small footprint means it fits easily into gaps between larger 1970s pieces without competing for shelf space.
