He doesn’t want to be seen because he doesn’t like to be in the spotlight: meet the secret BMW collector from Southern California who owns 45 vehicles from the Munich-based brand, including one of only two 700 RS racecars.

He started his collection with a BMW 1602 and built it up step by step, to the point where he now has 45 classic BMWs in his garage. He didn’t buy the cars to make money from reselling them over the years, he did it out of pure passion. He liked a car, he bought it, as simple as that.

This is what a true BMW enthusiast looks like – well, sort of, because we can’t really see his face.
