The secret BMW Collector...
BIMMERPOST NEWS The secret BMW Collector At age 17, The Collector was homeless. Today, he owns one of the most significant collections of classic BMWs on the planet. Located in a secret warehouse in Southern California, his collection consists of 45 cars, including the super-rare BMW 700 RS - only two of these cars were ever made. The Collector does not collect for fame or notoriety; he doesn’t want to be named. Rather, his collection is built on a deep love of BMWs and the art which goes into making them.

One word: inspirational. This is wild and simply amazing. Good for him. He's been on both sides of the fence, to be where he is now is very admirable. I'm certain he has other cars, his BMW collection just happens to be 45 cars.

That's great. The best thing the collector said was...., "I remember what car I had when my son was born..". That's a testament for those who think personal interests should be sacrificed for family. You see...you can enjoy all. Make no excuses.

his collection is amazing! I really like his saying of hunting down a specific part that more joy than letting it sit on the shelf~
one thing though, with the internet world, we all saw his shop manager and it will easy to track down where this warehouse is

Watched this a few days ago and was super impressed with his car collection. Respect to someone who isn't trying to grab the limelight from something that can only be called art.

I love it. People like him and myself (along with many members here I'm sure) think alike. I'll limit myself to 3 though!
I have a strong urge to get an E21 and E24 all of a sudden.
