(Munich, Germany, 2 October 2025) – RM Sotheby’s will make its annual pilgrimage to Munich’s Motorworld on 18 October for the fourth consecutive auction to be held at the Bavarian venue. This year’s sale is among the biggest to date, featuring a fabulous 22-strong collection of BMW M cars—The Best of M Collection—plus a mouthwatering array of iconic classics ranging from elegant fifties sports cars such as the BMW 507 Roadster to cutting-edge hypercars like the Mercedes-Benz AMG ONE.

Headlining the sale is one of the most iconic supercars of the modern era, a 1996 Ferrari F50 (Est: €4,000,000 - €4,500,000). The Rosso Corsa example was delivered new to Italy and was retained by its first over for more than 20 years. It received Ferrari Classiche “Red Book” certification in 2018 and presents beautifully, with its flight case and original books, and factory stickers still affixed to both front and rear clamshells.

The F50 is followed by a host of other Maranello masterpieces. A 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB by Scaglietti (Est: €2,200,000 - €2,500,000) that had its bodywork restored by Carrozzeria Auto Sport in 2012 prior to being certified the following year is one of only around 250 short-nose examples. A 2011 Ferrari SA Aperta (Est: €1,400,000 - €2,000,000) finished in Nero Stellato over Beige and fitted with a rare factory-fitted carbon hardtop has just 3,021 kilometres on the clock, while a 2023 Ferrari 812 Competizione (Est: €1,175,000 - €1,275,000) tastefully finished in Grigio Competizione over Nero Alcantara boasts delivery mileage of just 80 kilometres.

Meanwhile, collectors will have the opportunity to acquire two landmark Mercedes models with a single bid. A 2024 Mercedes-AMG One and its 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series Project One Edition sister car will be sold as one lot, estimated at €2,750,000 - €3,400,000. The legendary Mercedes-AMG halo car is finished in Hyper Black with Petronas Green detailing, with matching wing-mirror caps unique to this one-owner 274-kilometre example. The matching Mercedes-AMG GT has also been minimally driven, displaying just 3,477 kilometres.

The hypercar theme continues with an eye-catching exposed carbon and polished aluminium 2008 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Pur Sang (Est: €1,800,000 - €2,200,000). One of just five examples built, it is among the earliest limited-edition Bugattis of the modern era.

Elsewhere, there will be a homecoming for a 1957 BMW 507 Roadster Series II (Est: €1,500,000 - €1,700,000). Smartly finished in Anthracite over red leather, it is one of only 218 Series II examples that benefitted from the associated upgrades—with the added bonus of factory front disc brakes and Rudge centre-lock wheels.

Joining the 507 will be 22 of Munich’s finest exports, which together comprise The Best of M Collection. The group is led by a 1980 BMW M1 (Est: €500,000 - €600,000), the jewel in the crown of a collection that includes many of the German manufacturer’s greatest hits. Among them are a 1990 BMW M3 Sport Evolution (Est: €200,000 - €250,000), a 2010 BMW M3 GTS (€230,000 - €280,000), and a 1995 BMW M3 GT (Est: €100,000 - €140,000), which will be offered at completely no reserve alongside such modern icons as a 1990 BMW Z1 (Est: €90,000 - €120,000), a 2002 BMW M3 M Coupé (Est: €80,000 - €100,000), and a 2012 BMW M1 Coupé (Est: €70,000 - €90,000). All cars in the collection are offered at no reserve.

Meanwhile, offered directly from the BMW M Motorsport division comes a 2022 BMW M4 GT3 (Est: €435,000 - €485,000) that was driven by nine-time motorcycle World Champion Valentino Rossi in 27 races. The car contested the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans, finished 2nd in the 2025 Bathurst 12 Hour, and secured a brace of FIA World Endurance Championship podiums. Following its final race the car’s livery was preserved with a special lacquer applied by BMW Art Car legend Walter Maurer.

Finally, no German sale would truly be complete without that most iconic of Teutonic models—a 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster (Est: €1,000,000 - €1,500,000). This example benefits not only from matching-numbers engine and coachwork, but from a short chain of just three private owners since 1976, one of whom owned the car for 35 years.
