BMW dealership that closed in 1988 still has new cars sitting on the showtroom floor. I'll take that 6 seies coupe!

i dunno... the AE86 was at least maintained, these are going to be all messed up from sitting for so long

+1.. These are bimmers. They probably suffer from a billion electrical issues - even if they've been sitting around LOL.

I hear that someone inquired about buying that 6 series and they want something like 75k for it. :nut:

Old BMW's are tough as nails, I don't know where they went wrong.

Same as all manufacturers. Made in China parts.

I just read the postings from the local BMW forums. Still a neat story, one guy talked to the owner of the building (that building has to be worth a ton of coin in itself...just google map it 2357 Royal Windsor Dr, Oakville, ON L6J 7X6) He keeps the cars maintained, they are even for sale. He wants $75K for the white 635 coupe. There are also some more pics on the forum link, even some of whats inside the shop area.

First thing I thought is I wouldn't want a car with 23 year old fluids in it, but I guess he maintains them.

[Kardon]

These cars have so much more character than anything anybody makes now a days..

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

I want very much.

[Maybelater]

That is odd he maintains them and holds onto that land, I get he is wealthy and all, but seems like no point to it at all.

Not jealous at all, why would I be? Just curious as to why he keeps them there and the land for no reason.
