BMW M Exhibit at the Petersen Museum Vault - Manual M3CS and much more!

I was fortunate enough to attend the first “Collectors’ Summit” at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles this morning and attendees were able to visit the “Vault” free of charge after the town hall talk.

BMW has it’s own ///M room down there, including the new North America-only M3 C3 manual!

Enjoy!

Nice pictures. They should have Bob Lutz at any roundtable. He is older so he may not like to travel. He did so much for BMW with M Sport with Jochen Neerpasch.

Any sign of the BMW M Turbo prototype they keep at Petersen and Munich. Is that the i8 prototype or something new. Looks to be the 2010 concept.
BMW please create an i8 with a 312 hp B48 and a 6 speed manual. The i8 weighs about 3200 lb. I bet if they get rid of the battery it would be under 3000 lbs.

The round table appeared to be for heads of the major auction houses and the discussion (which I think should be posted on YouTube as it was recorded!) surrounded thoughts on the future of auction houses, current collections as owners are getting older and passing that may hit the market, speculation surrounding the asset class in general, private equity involvement, online vs. in-person auctions and how AI might affect listings and valuations, and the effect of EVs and electrification. A very insightful discussion!

As for the i8 prototype, is it this one?? A very cool car, especially with the see-through concept doors!
