Our obsession

Five principles.

The right car does not find itself. It takes patience, knowledge, and the willingness to say "no" to what is almost right.

  1. 01

    No universal trading

    We deliberately limit ourselves to four German premium brands — BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Porsche. Those we know inside out. Beyond them, we refer you elsewhere.

  2. 02

    No mass import

    Our ambition is eight to twelve cars per year. No stock pressure, no quotas — every commission gets the attention it deserves.

  3. 03

    Only selected examples

    Grade 4 or higher on the official inspection scale. No known damage or repair history. Low mileage. Full documentation. Below that line, no car makes the cut.

  4. 04

    Obsession with specs and history

    We read every auction sheet character by character. We compare against historical price data. We know which specification is special and which is not.

  5. 05

    Rather wait for the right example

    Finding a good car takes time. We do not bid when a candidate is not right — we wait for the next auction. And the next.

Our service

A journey from A to Z.

  • Only grade 4+, no damage history
  • Transparent landed cost before every bid
  • We only bid with your explicit green light
  • Personal — a direct line to Theo in Welsum

Our sources

Two source markets, two disciplines.

Each market has its own strengths. Germany offers the full range within our four brands, quickly and with in-person inspection. Japan is the route for performance specifications, classics and low-mileage examples that have become rare in Europe. We advise in the first conversation which route suits your search.

Full spectrum, quickly available

2 — 4 weeks lead time

The German premium market offers the widest selection of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Porsche — from daily driver to performance specification. We select only examples with complete service history and well-documented provenance. In-person inspection before bidding is standard.

  • Full model spectrum within our 4 brands — from daily driver to AMG/M/RS
  • Complete service history mandatory — no exceptions
  • Established dealers and independent inspection partners (TÜV, DEKRA, KÜS) in our network
  • In-person inspection before bidding
  • Fast import — no ocean transport
  • No import duties — EU single market

Performance, classics, low mileage

12 — 14 weeks lead time

Japan holds a unique LHD niche: 911s across every generation, AMG and M specifications, RS models, and classics such as the 993, R107 and W124 Cosworth — often with very low mileage thanks to Japanese driving habits and the strict biennial Shaken inspection. Not the route for an ordinary daily — Germany covers that.

  • Strong focus on 911, AMG, M-Performance, RS specifications and classics
  • In our experience, typically far lower mileage than comparable EU listings
  • No road salt across most of Japan — lower corrosion risk
  • Official auction inspection (USS, JU, JAA) — grade 4 or higher
  • Access to rare LHD specifications originally imported new into Japan

Motorcycles, with the same obsession.

We source BMW motorcycles from the German market — from a fresh R 1250 GS to a classic airhead, with more than 14,000 BMW bikes for sale on any given day. We assess the model-specific weak points, negotiate on your side, and transport the bike ourselves: insured, on our own two-bike trailer, with delivery across Europe.

  • Sourcing assignment from €1.250 — paid in phases
  • Insured transport on our own two-bike trailer
  • Registration guidance in your country

Japanese auction scale

We only accept grade 4 or higher.

Every car at a Japanese auction is independently inspected. The scale runs from 1 to 5, with grade 6 or S for (near) new condition and letter codes (R, RA) for repair history. We source exclusively 4, 4.5 or 5 without R/RA codes — below that, the risk of hidden issues rises sharply.

Figures indicative, reference date May 2026. This is not current stock — it is the type of candidate we track and cost out for clients. Landed cost here covers fees, transport, import duties, VAT, Dutch BPM and registration for delivery in the Netherlands; for other EU countries the tax lines differ and we calculate them for your destination before any bid.

Our discipline

A car is a long-term choice. We take the time to find the right example — not the first one. No quotas, no mass import, no pressure on the client. Instead: research, patience, and the willingness to say no to what is almost right.
