The car is one of a reported 1,682 cars converted by Bauer, and the bodywork is said to have been refinished in red DuPont Imron paint in the 1980s. The car retains European-market chrome bumpers and additional equipment includes dual rearview mirrors, H4 headlights, Hella auxiliary front lights, license plate lights, rear mud flaps, and a 2002 rear badge. The replacement black convertible top can be protected by a vinyl boot when lowered. Photos in the gallery show the paint and body up close, including a flaw on the hood.

The Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel with a BMW center cap fronts a woodgrain cluster from a later BMW 2002. VDO Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 29k miles. Total mileage is unknown.
