Yes, Jeff, I remember that post. We included your pics in our post on that car on Baurspotting:

Thanks again!
We too are tired of this winter.... but, sheesh, we aren't dealing with another foot of snow today! And I thought April was supposed to be the 'cruelest month'! Hang in there, Jeff. This too shall pass!

I recently saw a man and his wife driving an e21 baur in the Denver area. I waved enthusiastically from my E34.
What? You didnt get the Baur plate number for us???
JK.
Any other details on the car? Color? We do have an unconfirmed report of a 1979 320i Baur in Denver, but we have no further info on it.... until now!
Therefore, your Mission, should you choose to accept it, is to remain on Baurspotting Alert, and if you sight this Baur again.....
.... follow him/her home and tell him/her all about us, and invite them to join us here and on Baurspotting! We will take it from there!
Seriously, any help on this will be greatly appreciated. And it could earn you public acclaim as "Baurspotter of the Week"!

Very interesting. I neglected to mention that the Baur we are seeking in Denver is white. !!! Sounds like you may have spotted that one!
Small Baur World strikes again!
I also forgot to mention that the Baurspotter of the Week Award, when combined with about 2 bucks, will get you a doppio in any Starbucks in the US!
So you will have THAT going for you. Which is nice.

I've been thinking some more about where I saw the car and I came up with one other detail that might help you. I was driving to a client at the time so I didn't have time to stop and harass him, but he was driving on Colorado Blvd in denver only a few blocks away from Murray BMW. It was a weekday and I don't imagine that someone is daily-ing it, so it's possible that the car was brought to Murray for service or inspection. If you know anybody there, they might be able to get you some more info.
From what I could tell at the time it was E21 based, but it's also possible that it was an E30, since I didn't know there were both versions at the time.
That is exactly the kind of incidental, seemingly trivial, observation that can lead to a great payoff, if we get lucky! This is why Baurspotter boots and eyes on the ground are soooo important. We would have no way of knowing that if you hadnt told us.
Thank you! I will look into that.... you never know!
It may not lead to anything, but it is worth a shot! We shall see.
