I am extremely delighted to welcome Worthington BMW as the first certified BMW Classic dealer in Australia. Our classic vehicles have always been close to my heart and it is great to see that we have a very vibrant community of classic BMW enthusiasts here in Australia, including 15 BMW Clubs nationwide that have over 5,000 members. With the launch of our first certified BMW Classic dealership we are offering owners of historic BMWs the opportunity to meticulously restore and maintain their highly treasured and valuable vehicles, ensuring they remain roadworthy and timeless. The certification includes comprehensive technical training for dealership staff from the BMW Classic experts in Munich as well as specialised workshop equipment to undertake service and maintenance work. It is the 108 year old history of BMW that makes our brand so unique and over the time, numerous iconic models became an integral part of our brand’s DNA. I am getting excited every single time I see a BMW Classic model on the streets and with the introduction of BMW Classic dealerships, we can make sure that these models receive the special care and attention they require so they can shine even brighter on the Australian streets. To mark the launch of BMW Classic at Worthington BMW, eight classic vehicles are currently on display in the showroom. I highly recommend a visit to get up close and personal with these timeless classics. Worthington Group (Worthington BMW, MINI Garage and Motorcycles and Lexus Central Coast

How long till I will have one to go to in Melbourne Wolfgang Buechel ? It will be too late for the resto, but not for maintenance.

Such a fantastic initiative. Great to see the manufacturer getting behind Classic Cars including the training. The mechanical skills to service these old beauties are rare and valuable. Very cool indeed BMW.

E30 M3 in RHD? Must have been a conversion done in the UK by Birds of Gerrard’s Cross, or maybe in South Africa…?

This is amazing. Classic BMW's are stunning. I wonder if in 30 or 40 years if the current crop of BMW's will have the same nostalgic feel. It's great that BMW are investing in their legacy products.

Congratulations. As the owner of a 1986 E28 535i, for the last 29 years, I am still very concerned about the attitude BMW AG has toward E28's. It is, as though they never existed. This is the oppurtunity for BMW to change its attitude. Just for an interest point, my E28, has 737,000 k's.

A big congrats to the entire team at Worthington BMW. Brad and his father's passion for maintaining classics was always obvious - there's no other dealer that would be more fitting. Something to be proud of.
