Luxury car enthusiasts face a tough decision when it comes to investing in a limited edition Ferrari 812 Competizione or setting up a museum for their vintage cars. For those with deep pockets, the choice is clear: spend over $250,000 on a rare and beautiful Aston Martin DBS Coupé or create a museum for their collection of over 140 classic cars.
But for those who want more than just a pretty car or an impressive collection, they need someone who understands the intricacies of high-end car ownership. That’s where Beat Imwinkelried comes in. Imwinkelried has established a family office, Car Collector’s Family Office, to cater to the needs of wealthy car collectors.
Imwinkelried deals in top luxury car brands, both new and used. From Aston Martin and Bugatti to Maserati and Mercedes-Benz, he offers a wide range of options for his clients. But he doesn’t stop there; he also specializes in lesser-known classics like De Tomaso and Zagato.
His showroom, B. I. Collection, resembles a museum more than an auto sales site. With its spacious and modern environment, luxury cars are presented as works of art that are meant to be admired and appreciated by all who enter. Imwinkelried’s focus is on providing comprehensive services to assist collectors with managing, maintaining, and passing on their collections to the next generation.
From lifestyle customers who purchase expensive cars for personal enjoyment to enthusiasts who are constantly seeking the latest and best cars on the market, Imwinkelried caters to a wide range of clients. Collectors who own dozens or even hundreds of cars require professional handling and specialized services like storage and transportation.
That’s why Imwinkelried created his Car-Safe facility that houses up to 89 luxury cars belonging to collectors. The basement facility features a unique arrangement of cars on rails that resembles a car theater while maintaining controlled air composition to prevent fire hazards. Among the notable cars stored in the Car-Safe are Formula 1 vehicles from Benetton, including Michael Schumacher’s first premier class win at Monaco Grand Prix race in 1996.
