A few months back I published a blog about Toni Bienemann and his collection:

Today I bumped into a Facebook update regarding the Ferrari 400. Someone remarked that the average service maintenance costed about 35.000 Dutch Guilders back in the day - 1999/2000 (about 15k Euro). I was intrigued and asked the guy about the source. Apparently he read or heard about it somewhere on the internet and then recalled it was from Toni Bienemann on Youtube.
My first search hit the YT episode in one go:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie0SQpQdaE0 (sorry it's in Dutch).
It's an episode from Carros from 12 years ago whereby he provides an insight regarding his collection.
At about 2 min 50 sec he explains the reasoning for purchasing the 400i as he wanted something more exclusive and he simply liked that model. But the maintenance costs did made him reconsider and as such he choose the RR Camargue instead as it had a similar styling and done by Pininfarina as well. I doubt if the service maintenance would have been cheaper though. In any case, we know he does posses the 400 and the 130 coupe after all as well - and much much more. Still interested to meet up with him.
The RR Camargue was for him the starting point of his car collection.
Just another fairly recent Dutch article about him and his collection, for the records:
