The most loyal BMW customer ever picks up his 135th BMW

Mark · 06-26-2009, 10:21 PM

73 y/o Klaus Hammerschmidt picked up his 135th BMW. What would you get for your 135th car? An M6, which is a long way from his first BMW, a 1963 1800ti. He has owned 26 BMW M-division models, 29 BMW Alpina cars and 80 other BMWs.

Pretty cool. I think all companies dream of achieving that level of customer retention.

garek · 06-26-2009, 10:48 PM

I've only got 133 to go.

About 3. It comes out to 2.9.
2009-1963=46
135/46=2.9

I'm on my 6th and I though I was special

mcacciola · 06-26-2009, 11:10 PM

wow.. thats impressive.
I always thought that I had many BMW's.

I'm on the early 40's and I just order my 8th. one!

Long way to go yet!!

jo-e90 · 06-26-2009, 11:16 PM

I am over 40 and still wish I could afford to be on my 1st. I guess I have 135 to go.

Maybe my wife will get our first after I am dead.
It sucks being poor.

bmr760 · 06-26-2009, 11:42 PM

wow

Bimmer Nerd · 06-26-2009, 11:47 PM

0 and counting, very dear customer for BMW indeed, just shows how different our passion for BMW's are, i wanna see other car manufacturer do what us enthusiasts do for bmw, BIMMERFEST would be one of them, no other car company has that many dedicated drivers that i know of.

freshwhite335 · 06-27-2009, 12:01 AM

my rents are ordering #7 on Sat. Gotta tell them to speed it up

BrokenVert · 06-27-2009, 12:09 AM

I thought it would have been funny if his 135th car was a 135i. But wow that is amazing. I wonder what he does/did for a living.

chrisE92 · 06-27-2009, 01:43 AM

WOW that's dedication! This may be my first bimmer, but definitely not my last.

BMW BRAD · 06-27-2009, 02:46 AM

MidwestBimmerFan · 06-27-2009, 03:19 AM

Hell Yeah! I'm 25 and have had 7 beemers and one bimmer. I'd be happy with 50 more in my lifetime. LOL

marty_mcfly · 06-27-2009, 04:09 AM
