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

TL;DR: Otto's 1:18 resin BMW 325i E30 Baur TC2 recreates the coachbuilt open-top conversion in white, 1988. New model, new box, sealed one-piece body with the Baur roll bar and targa panel cast as fine resin detail. A niche pick for E30 collectors chasing coachbuilder variants beyond the standard sedan and coupe.

Baur's TC conversions took a standard E30 body and reworked it into a targa-style open car, and this white example wears that surgery well, its removable roof section and fixed roll hoop reading as deliberate design rather than an afterthought.

Casting the Baur Conversion in Resin

The Baur TC2's defining feature is the fixed integrated roll bar behind the front seats, a structural element that a standard convertible casting simply does not have to reproduce. Resin handles that raised, curved bar with clean edges and a consistent profile from front to rear, something a die would struggle to hold without a visible mold line. The body is sealed as a one-piece shell, so the targa roof panel and rear window surround are all cast into the shape rather than built as separate opening parts. The white paint sits even and glossy across the roofline, showing no orange-peel texture typical of lower-tier work. As a new model in new packaging, every edge and panel line arrives as Otto intended, without the handling marks a previously displayed piece would show.

Why the Baur TC2 Matters to E30 Collectors

BMW never offered a factory targa version of the E30, so Baur's coachbuilt conversions filled that gap through official BMW dealer channels in West Germany, giving buyers open-air motoring without the structural compromises of a full cabriolet. The TC2 specifically applied that treatment to the six-cylinder 325i, pairing performance with the roll bar's added rigidity. It is a footnote in E30 history compared to the M3, but a footnote most mainstream diecast lines skip entirely, which is exactly the gap a specialist resin cast like this fills.

Where This Model Fits a Display

Set beside a standard E30 sedan or coupe, the Baur's roll bar silhouette immediately signals the variant story to anyone who knows the E30 lineup, making it a strong contrast piece rather than a duplicate. At 1:18, its light resin body should be lifted by the chassis rather than the roll bar itself, which is a cast detail rather than a structural handle. Kept out of direct sunlight, the white finish will hold its tone for years on a Vitrine shelf.
