Billionaire forgot he had them ! (must see)

Can you imagine owning a brand new Ford RS200, 2 Brand new BMW M3 Sport Evo's, a brand new Mercedes 190 EVO II and forgetting about them ?
Supposedly, a billionaire man in the U.K did !

Only 500 of those M3's were ever made in 1990 !
The 2 red M3's were just sold to 'bonkers' !

Wow, love the seats on that M3. Pardon my ignorance but are there any Evo's like that in Canada?

They must cost a heck of a lot of though for being so rare don't they?

As far as I know, 2 were imported by willz in 2004.
This one is currently registered 'active' somewhere in Northen Ontario.

do a VIN search on it - WBSAK07070AC79554

This one is not registered 'active' ...so therefore I think a collector owns it.

There are 2 in the U.S. as well.

Well lets just say it's one of the most sought after BMW Enthusiatsts cars ever !
These M3's vary in price range these days frm $40,000-$100,000 !

BimmerDriver · 03-13-2010, 01:58 AM

Ouch... I don't think that price tag is going down anytime soon. Good long term investment I'd say. Not sure I'd wanna sell it afterwards though haha

Robb · 03-13-2010, 02:03 AM

Nope !
That RS200 is worth even more ! 300HP STOCK
The batch of 200 RS200's were built between 1985 and 1986.
$150,000 +

Thats crazy! Super cool cars. I forgot one of my cars once, took me a few weeks to figure it was missing (because it got towed away)....

BimmerDriver · 03-13-2010, 02:22 AM

This may or may not be a dumb question. I never got my car towed. But just imagining the situation: you walk back from the mall, and when you look at the spot where your car should have been, how do you know whether it was towed or stolen? You just call the police to figure out or do they leave a little sign or something?

They keep track of that, it has to be called in before they remove a car...BUT you can not report a stolen car unless you are the owner!!! Happened to me once, i parked and got a ticket, didnt move the car for a day or two and it got towed...went to police to report it (just in case!) and they told me i cant, since i was not the owner!!! Thats just great!

BimmerDriver · 03-13-2010, 02:36 AM

Yeah but I mean, even if you're the owner, how are you supposed to know it was towed? You have to call like 911 or something?

How did you find out the car was towed?

Bimmer Heaven · 03-13-2010, 02:52 AM

The tow truck has to call the police and let them know...and they know everything...other then when your stuff really gets stolen!

that guy is one lucky SOB, I wonder what else that billionaire is selling?
