About the BMW 325i E30 Baur TC2 White Otto 1:18

TL;DR: Otto's 1:18 resin BMW 325i E30 Baur TC2 reproduces the 1988 open-top conversion in white, a sealed one-piece body with no opening panels. Supplied as a new model in new packaging. A niche variant for E30 collectors who already own the saloon and coupe.

Baur's TC2 conversion took the E30 and cut it down into something between a full convertible and a coupe, keeping a fixed rear roll structure that most manufacturers never touched, and Otto's decision to reproduce that variant rather than another standard 325i is what gives this piece its point.

How Otto's Resin Handles the Baur Body

The Baur conversion adds a distinctive targa bar and a folding rear section that a resin casting can render with sharper definition than a pressed body typically allows, since the material holds fine raised and recessed detail without the tooling compromises metal stamping demands. With no opening panels on this example, the roll structure, the fold line where the rear soft top meets the bodywork and the cabin trim visible through the glazing all have to read convincingly from the outside, and that is where a one-piece resin shell earns its keep: shut lines are scribed as continuous, even grooves rather than gapped seams, and the white paint sits flat and consistent across every curved surface. Otto's specialism in low-volume, characterful European subjects is well suited to a variant like this one, which larger diecast manufacturers rarely bother tooling.

Where the Baur TC2 Fits an E30 Collection

This model rewards a collector who already has the standard E30 saloon or the 325i Convertible and wants the variant that sits between them on the family tree. At 1:18 the format gives enough room for the targa rail and interior detail to actually register, something a 1:43 casting of the same subject would struggle to convey. As with any resin piece, keep it away from direct sunlight and handle it by the base rather than the bodywork. It arrives new, in new packaging, with nothing to disclose about condition.
