Why was this BMW dealership abandoned in 1988 with cars still inside?

In 1988, Citation Motors, a BMW Dealership in Ontario, shut its doors with little explanation. The simple answer seems to be that the dealership had its concession license revoked, but nobody seems to be able to track down why exactly. Endras BMW, another Toronto-based Bimmer peddler, did some digging, but didn’t come up with too much.

Whatever the case, the dealership moved to Toronto, switched its name to Downtown BMW, and went under in 2002. The owner of both places seems to be eccentric at best, as he left Citation where it sat, untouched, with a then-brand new 635csi and E28 5 Series abandoned inside. The business is reportedly well cared for, and the cars have not succumbed to the elements the way they would have were they truly left to rot.

The owner of the establishment apparently has little interest in selling the business or his wares. To make things more interesting, there’s apparently an as-yet unopened underground storage facility and a back lot packed with junked Bimmers.

The Sesto Elemento concept was envisioned as a design study, previewing the styling and technology we might expect to see on the next generation of Lamborghini supercars. But shortly after it was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show a few months back, reports began to emerge suggesting that the Italian automaker could put it into production, however limited.

Now an exotic car dealership in Germany is listing the car for sale. Although the reported original listing on the mobile.de online marketplace is no longer there to be found, Auto Salon Singen still has it up on its website with an approximately €2 million (.63M USD) list price – €1.9m before tax, €2.3m after.

Does Singen know something the rest of us don’t? The dealership has an impressive showroom packed with all manner of rare exotica. Or are they simply anticipating the same announcement as the rest of us?
