After Oktoberfest, RM Sotheby’s Munich auction has to be the biggest event in the city this October. And because it is the Munich auction, that means there’s a focus on BMW, with an incredible collection of 22 M cars set to be sold, all of them at no reserve.
If you’ve always wanted to collect M cars and either didn’t know where to start or weren’t interested unless you could buy a minimum of 20 cars at once, this is the opportunity for you. The list includes everything from an M1 to an E36 M3 GT to an E30 Sport Evo. And outside of that collection, BMW M Motorsport is selling an M4 GT3.

Here’s what RM Sotheby’s said about the collection:
The group is led by a 1980 BMW M1 (Est: €500,000 – €600,000), the jewel in the crown of a collection that includes many of the German manufacturer’s greatest hits. Among them are a 1990 BMW M3 Sport Evolution (Est: €200,000 – €250,000), a 2010 BMW M3 GTS (€230,000 – €280,000), and a 1995 BMW M3 GT (Est: €100,000 – €140,000), which will be offered at completely no reserve alongside such modern icons as a 1990 BMW Z1 (Est: €90,000 – €120,000), a 2002 BMW M3 M Coupé (Est: €80,000 – €100,000), and a 2012 BMW M1 Coupé (Est: €70,000 – €90,000). All cars in the collection are offered at no reserve.
Meanwhile, offered directly from the BMW M Motorsport division comes a 2022 BMW M4 GT3 (Est: €435,000 – €485,000) that was driven by nine-time motorcycle World Champion Valentino Rossi in 27 races. The car contested the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans, finished 2nd in the 2025 Bathurst 12 Hour, and secured a brace of FIA World Endurance Championship podiums. Following its final race the car’s livery was preserved with a special lacquer applied by BMW Art Car legend Walter Maurer.

And if you look beyond the cars that RM chose to highlight in its release, there are some real gems. There’s a 2002 M Coupe in Phoenix Yellow over black with just 7500 kms (4660 miles) on the odometer. There’s an E30 M3 Cabriolet, a 2002 Turbo, an E90 M3 CRT, and an E92 GTS. There are also some not-quite M cars that are part of the collection, like a Z1 and a Z8-based Alpina Roadster.
And if that wasn’t enough and you must have a 23rd BMW, there will also be an absolutely gorgeous Series II 507 available. It’s estimated to sell for €1,500,000 – €1,700,000, but it seems worth it for this anthracite over red roadster.
And if you, heaven forbid, want to buy something that’s not a BMW, there are also a number of Ferraris, a Bugatti Veyron, and even an AMG One. You can check out the entire list of cars being offered here. The sale will take place on October 18th at Motorworld Munich. And if you buy anything from the collection, drop us a line.
