Considering it claims to have been abandoned except for one person that turns up once a month the whole place, especially the showroom cars, look massively lacking in dust.

Whether its real or not i'd love to own those cars in that condition

Yeah and surely after 20 odd years the tyres would be flat aswell??

In 1988, Citation Motors, a BMW Dealership in Oakville, Ontario shut its doors with little explanation. The simple answer seems to be that the dealership had its concession licence revoked, but nobody seems to be able to track down why exactly. Endras BMW, another Toronto-based Bimmer peddler, did some more digging, but didn't come up with anything more. However the legend has been debated on Canadian forums like MaxBimmer.com since 2004 and well known around the GTA.

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 is apparently an as-yet unopened underground storage facility and a back lot packed with junked Bimmers.

would love to know whats underneth
