The 1996 BMW 750iL in which Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas was listed for sale at $1.5 million in 2017 and later at $1.75 million, and no completed sale has been confirmed. It is a collector’s curiosity as much as a car.

What happened to the car?
After the 1996 incident, Las Vegas police impounded the car. It was later sold at a police auction, repaired and passed through several owners. A later listing said it was fully restored with 121,043 miles. A small dent where a bullet may have struck is still visible on a door.
How much is it worth as a car?
A comparable BMW 750iL of that age is an ordinary used car, with a private-party value we saw quoted at about $2,578 in 2017. The asking price of $1.5 million is therefore almost entirely a memorabilia premium. Our view: the real value depends on provenance paperwork, which is why buyers were asked for a $20,000 deposit and a confidentiality agreement.
What else from Tupac’s life has sold?
His Hummer H1 reportedly sold at auction for over $300,000, and a platinum plaque for Me Against the World, handwritten letters and lyrics have also gone under the hammer. For other BMW stories, see BMW teams up with Lego. The original listing ran on the memorabilia site Moments in Time.
