Neiman Marcus parterned with BMW last month to create a unique set of 50 customized M6 convertibles. They were trimmed with a Piano Black finish and painted in Ruby Black. Each Neiman Marcus BMW M6 cost a total of $139,000. A base BMW M6 costs about $96k, so we’re talking over $40k in upgrades! When did paint cost $40k?!
Let’s add to the fact, that there were enough idiots that bought into this gimmick of owning a Neiman Marcus M6, that they sold all 50 convertibles in 92 seconds on Wednesday. Apparently, the phone lines for orders were jammed!
Someone please tell me, when did Neiman Marcus become a tuner? For $40k extra, I would’ve at least expected a set of diamond encrusted rims, a spankin’ supercharger, and a Hawaiian Tropic model waiting for me in the passenger seat.
I’m sure the cars were bought by rich folks who know nothing about cars.
I hope it includes a Neiman Marcus badge! ;)
Where do people get the money for this stuff?!?!
Neiman Marcus does this every year. I’m pretty sure they select a car to be featured in there Christmas Catalog that can’t be bought anywhere else. Last year was a Limited Edition GS450.
i get somewhat perturbed by the fact that people can just drop so much money for merely a paint job.
So that’s the only difference between a base BWW and the Neiman Marcus one is the paint? There’s got to be something else for 40K extra. Maybe you get to ride around with Tami for a week for the extra money. I’ll buy one for that! ;)
It is crazy, who buy this car?
thats ridiculous
All this says to me is that there are plenty of rich people out there who don’t give a damn how much things cost as long as they’re rare. Pick up an edition of Power and Motoryacht and you wont be surprised by cars anymore :)
$40k on paint? I wish I could afford a $40k car!
BMW is just trying to stuff money into their pockets, 40 grand on little upgrades on a bwm isn’t worth a dime. And for the total price of 140k on a M6, you could find alternatives.
You mean like a Porsche Turbo? :)
i like the colour, but not at that price though
Just having the Porsche alone is good enough for me, it doesn’t even need to have modifications to gave it any more attention. I can settle for a Turbo or a Cayenne.
plus 40k? wow. but, i must admit, that black paint finish is sexy. lol
It must be nice to be able to spoil yourself! :)
The Katana of Germany. Slick, smooth, fast, killer in the roads.
It’s called fashion, people. They’re are buying it because it’s expensive, because it’s different. If you want to be logical about car purchases then there’s no reason to spend more than $30k on a car just like there’s no reason to buy clothes from anyplace other than Wal-Mart.
What an ugly world that would be.
If you call these people idiots yet own a stitch of designer clothing you’re a hypocrite. Yes I know a $40k paint job is a LOT more than $300 for some 7 For All Mankind jeans, but the dollar amount is all relative. These cars are (hopefully) bought by people who’s net worth makes my salary look like a rounding error.
At least we can all agree that’s one sexy car :)
oh shiet. i saw this car on my campus. but only once. damn it is one sexy ride.
