Some people get to have all the fun, don’t they? Although it seems as though the person behind this ridiculous collection of BMWs didn’t want to have too much fun, because they’re all now heading to auction with remarkably few miles on their respective clocks.

Referred to as The Best of M Collection, they're set to be sold by RM Sotheby’s in Munich later this month, and yes, we have noticed the 2002 Turbo, Z1 and Alpina Roadster V8 sneaking in there.

But what else is in the collection? Well, after the 2002 Turbo, the second oldest of the lot is an example of the very first M-badged car, a 1980 BMW M1. Getting younger from there you’ve also got a 1990 M3 Sport Evolution and a 1992 E30 M3 Cabrio.

Clearly this particular collector was a fan of M3s, because you’ve then got a 1995 E36 M3 Cabrio in glorious Dakar Yellow paint, plus a ’95 E36 M3 GT in British Racing Green. The latter is actually one of the highest mileage cars in the collection, with just over 44,000 miles covered in its 30 years of life.

Next up is a 2000 Z3 M Roadster (also in Dakar Yellow) that was delivered new to Japan and has just 2,000 miles on its clock. That perhaps goes some way to justifying the punchy upper estimate of around £70,000. Yikes.

You’ve then got an E46 M3 Cabrio and a Clownshoe Z3 M Coupe both from 2002, before a 2003 M3 CSL and that Z8-based, auto-only Alpina Roadster V8 from the same year. RM Sotheby’s reckons the Alpina could sell for £330,000.

You’ve then got a pair of Z4 Ms – a coupe and a roadster – before perhaps our favourite lot of all, an E92 M3 GTS from 2010. Fewer than 150 were made, and this one has only covered 109 miles so far. Criminally low mileage. You’re then looking at an even more rare 2011 M3 CRT with just 104 miles on its clock, before you get into the 2012 1M Coupe and the 2016 M2 Coupe.

We’d probably be content with all of the above, but there’s also a 2016 M4 GTS, a 2017 M3 30 Jahre Edition and then two G82s in the form of a ’23 M4 CSL and the ridiculously titled M4 Edition 50 Jahre BMW M.

Some quick TG maths tells us that if every car here sells for its maximum estimate, the whole collection could fetch as much as £3.1m. Wonder if they’re offering a discount for selling them all as a job lot?
