Abandoned BMW Dealership Tour - BMWs, Alfa Romeo, Jeep, NSU, Bikes...

In this special episode, we head to Tarragona, Spain to explore a defunct BMW dealership filled with old classic cars that have been abandoned for 15, 20, some even over 30 years. We have many rare BMWs among which is one of the rarest M cars, as well as Alfa Romeo, Lancia, NSU, Jeep, Citroën, million bikes, engines... Parts and tools scattered everywhere. Grab snacks and get comfy while we tour this place and touch cars that haven't been touched in decades.

I would love to see that Alfa Alfetta rescued! Such a cool car, and just like you said, an Italian E30, which would fit in with this channel.

[@MLC...]

As an owner of Alfetta GTV, I can confirm that those are very nice to drive, real drivers cars.

[@TheHeadlong]

Fully agree!

[@adelkheir]

Yeah, to me it's like an Italian Porsche 944

[@MrTersel]

Please fix this Alfa Alfetta🤟

[@highdefp-rm7zg]

We had an alfetta 1.8 some 45 years ago . Terrible gearbox linkage , no second gear when cold. Rusted out in 2 years !! Metal has rust in it from the factory .. fun to drive but on salty roads just a disaster.

[@tre_2EC0]

Hopefully the owner returns from his trip to outer space and can talk some realistic prices. I'd love to see that E28 on the channel and maybe some of those V12 Bimmers, or E30s. The GTV6 would be pretty special too!!

[@macbeth2354]

Unless he's going to do a major change with the videos, like move into the body shop and start documenting (I wouldn't mind) I'm skeptical he will pick the e28. It would be the right thing for that car, but perhaps done by a different person. My bet is we'll get another 12 cylinder :D

[@LCOF]

@@macbeth2354 He'll sort the mechanical side out and then send the car to Poland to have the bodywork done.

Omg. That Lancia is impossible to find here in Italy. And the Alfa Gtv6 as well... I love them. Wish I could go back in time to those years

[@twinturbo1989]

Totally spaced out, yup. That's why all those cars are still sitting there, getting pooped on. It's a shame but ultimately this E28 M5 will end up as a parts car.

[@pauldegans2393]

20:50 That car sang for real!

[@hughhennessy7912]

The Alfetta and GTV6 are all you need from this collection. The GTV6 has a rear mounted gearbox giving it 50:50 weight distribution. These cars are becoming rare - most have been eaten by tin worm. Finding rust free examples like these are rare.

[@Zubcho]

Do this one! Those are very very rear.

[@TheTelian]

Do it! I will personally come hel you as I restored one myself when I was 17 with my dad. If there's a car to tempt you from bmw it's this one!

[@SavedbyHim]

Do the GTV6 for sure!

[@nomenicuss2091]

yes, the alfa!

[@hortonner]

Becoming rare..lol

[@paulog8813]

“Channel wise” I would say the E3 and the Alfa GTV6 are the best ones. The E3 as you said marked a shift in direction for BMW. The same for the Alfa with it’s many technological like the onboard disk brakes.

[@marcusott2973]

And the transaxle gearbox. That's a serious innovation for a mass produced car.

[@joanbrown9376]

Inboard, surely?

[@Leonardo555ZZZ]

@@joanbrown9376 Yes , inboard rear disc brakes , to reduce the unsprung weight to improve handling and grip,, and rear mounted transaxle gearbox to give a near perfect front to rear weight distribution.

[@user-sy1ed9ex5m]

I'd love to see the Alfetta or GTV6 being restored! I myself have a 90. It can be tricky to get spare parts for them, but when they work they are very enjoyable.

[@PolishBrothersPB]

Never been as interested in something than watching you restore this e28, would be lovely! Greetings from Poland, hope that our guys will take care of the accident damage, pretty sure they will, seen worse getting back on our roads! Take care and I hope that you will take it if it's possible!

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Yup.. i agree.. That black old M5, would be such a cool project to see fully restored on this channel.. Woaaw...

[@OpiceSF]

Yes on the Alfetta, they are wonderful driving and sounding cars. The GTV-6 may have a higher resale (though you never know, the sedans have a rabid fan base), but the weight of the V6 actually degrades the handling sharpness found in the 4 cylinder cars. Signed: former owner of 3 Alfetta sedans and 2 coupés (4 & 6 cyl versions).

[@carlsanders1320]

Fully agreed - the Alfetta is by far the most promising car in there.

[@MLC...]

I love both the GTV6 and the Alfetta. The sedan is much more comfortable than the coupe, but the V6 from the coupe has so much charisma. Really stylish too, both of them.

[@fernandogutierrezmartin3012]

Big pleasure Sreten 🙌 Hopefully will send some cars over 🤞

[@rafthejaf8789]

My father owned two NSU RO80's and I remember them as amazingly futuristic cars with an incredible space age whiring sound. Although it suffered from engine seal problems it was really ahead of its time both in terms of design and engineering. I owned a red M30 1800 when I lived in Madrid and it was one of best cars I've ever owned. I used to go all over Spain and Portugal in it and I never felt tired after a long day's drive. They don't make cars like that anymore!

[@typxxilps]

go for the Alfa - especially in Germany with so many italian immigrants from the 60s and 70s there will be a huge demand for a southern car with less rust cause the italian cars did not survive in cold winter Germany

[@johncoops6897]

Since it has been garaged for so long, the Alfetta might not have fallen apart from rust.

[@ervinsbalodis3238]

Yes! The alfa looks super cool!

[@merlinulrich7590]

[@MLC...]

Great choice! I love those cars as well!

[@spankedbywife1018]

I saw really only like 5 potentials there. I know what the seller has in the NO show part but I'm not going to say anything here as it may weaken this buyer's position and at the very least cause him grief with his touring buddy. And it is nothing all that crazy and again points to the sellers being out of touch.

[@kaikoehler]

To go through an abandoned BMW dealership would definitely be a dream come true for me. But now I can sit back and enjoy this one hour video from you. Thank you very much for taking us on that journey! And big thumbs up for Fernando for making this possible!

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Agree.. (up-voting) Woaw.. that place is so impressive with all those original BMW scheme-rack & tools !?!, some very cool rare BMW cars in there, Lancia & Alfas were also badass..

[@shrkys4]

The second Alfa Romeo, it's an Alfetta probably 1977-78, I had a 1976 one, it was such a fun car to learn to work on. My brother and I worked on this car replacing just about everything, clutch, heads, rust repair, wiring, interior, etc...It was such a fun car to drive once it was all sorted out....I'd love to see this on the channel!!!! As your friend says, it looks like an e30!

[@jackh5489]

I would definitely take the e28 M5, the doors are the same on all e28's, so finding a spare should not be to hard, the front bumper can be repaired with compound and the b pillar can be pulled back (the roof looks undamaged). The original wheels are for the Michelin TRX milimiter tires, which are rubbish and cost a fortune, change them to a set of period correct BBS.. If the price is right (I would say 10K and no more, since it has a considerate structural damage), and buy a ton spare parts to go and a e23 for good measure (if the price is right). And of course, there's the gorgeous Italian Alfa version of the 3 series, but Italian logic can quickly give you grey hairs...

[@Deadjammy]

The Car-o-tronic machine you pointed to when in the parts store at 6.39 is in fact a measuring system for the jig. It gives you data points and schematics for any car. When a car comes in damaged they’re put on these jigs and measured to make sure they’re within manufacturer tolerances. They’re still used and built in a similar way to this day. Some useless information you might want to know! Brilliant video and completely fascinating! Keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Strike86]

As an Alfa Romeo and M539 lover it would make me unreasonably happy if you bought either the Alfetta or the GTV6 to restore or revive on the channel. Or just that E28 M5.

[@ShopLifeTV]

WOW! Can't think of a better adventure, I can't imagine how you must have felt being able to see all of the potential! I agree with your statement about not adding to the crazy values, hope you are able to get a reasonable deal! Good luck!

[@justus9694]

The E28 M5 is an awesome car for sure! Would love to see it on the channel, but you shouldn't overpay for it. There is a lot, A LOT, of work to do and money to spend on it. On all of the cars actually. I'm totally with you that one shouldn't encourage people asking absurd amounts of money for cars which simply aren't worth it. You'll find another one, if the price doesn't get reasonable.

[@jamesd1711]

There are lots of interesting things here. Really any of them would be a good project BUT BUT.... the price needs to be right. Many times owners like this think they are worth so much more then they really are.

[@notveryimportantcomment]

So your telling me a 20 year old car that hasnt been maintained or driven for half its life isnt worth the $30,000 the owner is asking for? (Just making numbers up) But I agree many people look at this car market bubble we are in and assume their beater classic car is worth just as much as a perfect example of the same vehicle. But people will pay whatever they feel the cars are worth and at ths moment cars are worth way more then they should be.

[@juansanz9207]

This man´s father was a true legend of the 60´s. He was an official rider for Derbi (our most renowned motorcycles in Spain) at a time when racing for Derbi was like racing for Honda in MotoGP. Even his three sons (one of whom must be the one in the video) played well on the european circuits competing in the BMW Boxer Cup and BMW Power Cup with direct support of BMW Motorrad Germany in the early 2000s. The family started in BMW with motorcycles before the 70s, and created a real empire becoming a dealer for many manufacturers, not only cars but also motorcycles (the family still owns some of them). They ran the BMW dealership in Tarragona until 2013. I can feel this guy's sadness. Seeing everything your family created covered in poo must be daunting, not to mention being forced to sell it. Probably this affliction has a lot to say when it comes to put a realistic price on all these cars. In any case, a real privilege to see this space (which I bet it was the first BMW dealership before moving to one of these iron & glass buildings in the early 2000s)

[@monstermirror2]

Interesting information, thanks. BMW forced a lot of smaller dealerships out of business at that time (here in Germany as well) when they didn't or couldn't comply to BMWs demands for huge and shiny new buildings, apparently indispensible for a premium brand and premium prices.

This was a great tour, thx! To the E3: I know in Portugal f.e. people in the 1980s took off the "type-sticker" from the back of the cars or they just clued another sticker on it, so that theves would not recognise "the big engine". so it could be an oldschool-antitheft 🙂

I have had 2 x BMW E3's one was a 3.3 liter 4 door twin carburetor and the other was the 4 door 3.0si which was my favorite. I also owned a 2002tii, and wish I still did. The E3's in their day both were great cars very comfy good for family. The 3.0si was rather quick for it's day 6.5 sec to 100kph. But you are quite right the early BMW's suffered from huge rust issues. In Australia we don't do or need salt on roads but all makes and models of cars of the early to mid 70's were unprotected so rust was common and certainly more common in cars from Europe, closely followed by the locally designed and produced GMH Holden and Ford Falcon. I really do enjoy your Chanel your attention to detail, and your intent to make it right before you call it done. It's rare and I applaud you. I have crossed to the dark side and now drive a the latest Audi RS3. Still love all euro cars but I think every ICE car on the road today is collectable as EV's will supersede the ICE cars and most will be compacted and recycled someday we will regret not saving a few to continue driving them for history's sake. Good luck with your (maybe) purchases. Unfortunately, some people do get an over exaggerated value of collectables and expect you to pay top dollar for a wreck. I'm with you, we don't want to encourage this. The M5 would be lovely to score but the way I see it there are there are huge potential cost exposures with expensive outlays combined with known damage, the hard to fix kind so stick to your thoughts and don't be pressured. Cheers

Owner only needs 1 person to pay his asking price. These cars might do better at auction for him. The other guy was the selling agent, so telling him "These things go for crazy prices...", isn't a very good way to discourage over pricing.
