Bonhams' Powered by BMW auction @BMW Museum...
Power by BMW. Bonham’s auction at the BMW Museum 1st of October, 2011. (I posted this on the M3 forum... but I thought I would also post it over here as well!)  http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...9#post10538789 First off, I know I am one lucky SOB! Who else gets to go to so many cool car events! In the last few weeks: Leipzig Werk, M Studio, Welt, the IAA, and this past weekend this cool BMW Museum car auction held by Bonhams! I did not think I would make this event (only the second time they have held an auction at the BMW Museum, the last one was in 2009), but I did get there eventually. About half way thru my two hour drive South to Munich - I heard on the German radio that the A9 autobahn was closed due to a truck accident. Ugggg!! Lucky, I pressed onwards and thru that Stau (traffic jam). I got there a little late… but still, the auction event was going strong and I snapped up some decent shots of the cars for sale there. Basically all the auction cars were sprinkled throughout the BMW museum. Even up in the globe where the Art Car are (normally) shown, they removed all of them and put in their place the auction cars from Bonham’s. I think I was the last person to leave the globe area! I got to see some really rare BMW’s. Let me share them with you guys! Come walk with me! Nine cars from a private German collector were offered for sale 'without reserve' at Bonhams' Power by BMW auction on Saturday: Five highlights include: 38 kilometres from new, 1972 BMW 2800 Saloon 277 kilometres from new, 1973 BMW 3.0S Saloon 11,075 kilometres from new, 1972 BMW 3.0CSi Coupé 6,057 kilometres from new, 1973 BMW 3.0Si Saloon 31 kilometres from new, 1972 BMW 3.0S Saloon Then there was an e34 M5 wagon!

Lot of photos! I love the old classic Bimmers that are on display, they all look like they're in excellent shape.

I can't believe this special auction was held last year. Doesn't seem like its been an entire year since attending it.
The good news is next year there will be a 3rd auction from what I understand! I can't wait!
