I'm revisiting another old project of mine this week. The Matchbox BMW 323i Cabriolet was the third model I worked on on my channel back in 2019 and it was my first ever custom. I made a 'replica' of my brother's 1991 BMW 316i convertible but it was a bit lacking in detail. I left the Baur style roof in place and picked out some basic details. This time though I wanted to take my custom further, hacking off that roof, matching the wheels and taking the detailing up a notch.
Matchbox released this casting in 1985 and it ran in the mainline from 1985 to 1991. It replicated the Baur conversion cabriolet which had a targa style roof section with an independent retracting soft top. BMW only began to offer a factory convertible from that year.
The casting is based on the E30 second generation of the BMW 3 Series. This generation replaced the E21 in 1982 and introduced a four-door saloon to the 3 Series, as well as a convertible in 1985, and the 'Touring' estate in 1987. The E36 generation replaced it in 1990 though production continued up until 1994 with the Touring the final model to be built.
