A Rare Opportunity to Acquire a 45-Year BMW Restoration & Performance
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a nationally recognized European performance and restoration shop specializing in import vehicles. Established in the 80's, this business has earned a reputation for excellence in engine rebuilding, concours-level restorations, motorsport prep, and expert maintenance.
Operating from a fully equipped 12,000 sq. ft. facility in North Carolina, the shop serves a loyal nationwide client base. With nearly $400,000 in specialized inventory—including discontinued and hard-to-source parts—the business also supports a robust online catalog for restoration components.
The owner is actively involved in day-to-day operations but no longer turning wrenches. This is a true owner-operator opportunity for someone with experience in automotive restoration or high-performance European vehicles.
Highlights:
$1.1M in annual revenue with consistent demand
$795,000 asking price, includes ~$400K in inventory
12,000 sq. ft. facility with lifts, diagnostic tools, and restoration equipment
Nearly 50 years of brand equity in the Import performance and vintage market
Online catalog and rare parts collection provide additional value
Nationwide customer base and longstanding industry recognition
Growth potential through service expansion or online sales scale-up
Ideal Buyer:
An experienced automotive professional or restoration shop owner who appreciates European engineering and the value of legacy craftsmanship. Ideal for a hands-on operator ready to lead a respected brand in a premium niche.
Owner is retiring
Seller is willing to stay on during a negotiated transition period to ensure continuity and successful handoff of operations and customer relationships.
Relatively low competition along the east coast for this business mode
