Default Wow! This is what I call BRAND LOYALTY! (Man picks up his 135th BMW!)

Klaus Hammerschmidt, entrepreneur (retired), 73 years old, picks up his 135th car at the BMW Welt: the brand new BMW M6 Competition Package. His first BMW was a 1800ti from 1963.

Altogether he had 26 cars from BMW M, 29 BMW Alpina and 80 other BMWs.

Wow, now THATS loyalty. Heck, BMW should've cut the guy a break and gave him his 135th one for free. He surely deserves it

I like that quote. Not that my car has had any problems but I won't keep it past 100k miles or near that. This guy is nuts. There is no Lexus owner since they keep their cars long and they don't break as often.

They still should and honestly, that is the type of publicity they need.
