How many cars is it possible for any body to own? Three? Five? Seven? Alright, you want the guessing number to be dragged a bit more? Ok, How about Ten? Ok, a pretty realistic number, But if we say there is a bloke who has taken the delivery of his 135th BMW? Yes, the man actually did that.
This 73 year “young” German who goes with the name Herr Hammerschmidt has bought 135 cars in his lifetime. Call this heights of loyalty to the brand (or craziness), as all the 135 cars bought by this man are from the German luxury car maker, BMW. Yes, this guy bought only BMWs. The 135th BMW he picked up was a brand new BMW M6 Coupe.
The Munich based Herr Hammerschmidt, started his love affair with cars at the early age of 12, when he used to drive the car while his father worked on the pedals. He bought his first car, a BMW 1800ti in 1963 and there was no looking back for him who has brought at an average 3 BMWs a year.
Hammerchmidt’s has had variety of BMW luxury cars such as 25 M-series cars, 29 Alpinas and 80 other standard coupes and sedans. He almost spent his entire life’s earnings on this passion of his.
So far we do not have details of which BWM car he liked the most or why did he stick to BMW and not go for other brand of cars, and also how did he mange to raise that much money to keep buying new cars. But we know ‘he did it’. He continues to do it in style even at the age of 73.
German car manufacturers like the BMW, Mercedes Benz and Audi are already setting new records in India in luxury car ownership. There is no dearth of vintage car collectors in India and the world. But a passion like the one seen in Hammerschmmidt is unprecedented!
