Thumbs up

You do an ED and think its special,

He does an ED, and makes your ED seem like nothing...

Congrats to Hosobuchi-san!!!
As if being the Owner of all M cars wasn't exclusive enough...

Sounds like the guy swims in a pool of money every morning for breakfast..

That's pretty bad ass! I hope my future has Euro Deliveries of this sort.

That car looks restored to full originality, but the paint scheme isn't quite my cup of tea...

That's badass. However, how bad do you not want to have dinner with that guy.

Wow crown jewel addition to most certainly the only complete private collection of every ///M car ever produced.

So are we talking every model year of every M car ever...or what is the extent of his collection. Wouldn't be too far fetched to have a 1M, M3, M4, M5, M6, M6GC, X5M and X6M.....

I am no rocket scientist or anything, but I would assume the statement "every M car ever produced" would include all of those more current M models you listed, as well as every other car BMW has produced as an official ///M car (and I would suspect a few non-M's as well).

Think larger. Masakuni Hosobuchi has been quoted in the German press saying he owns a lot of BMW's. He says he told his wife he has about twenty cars in his collection, but he admits to owning more. Much more. As much as three times as many! He says his thirteen year old daughter has seen them all. His wife's daily driver is an e36 320i. Mr Hosobuchi most often takes his M7, built by BMW Individual. It's powered by a v12, complete with M5 fender side grills and Individual interior. He also often takes his chauffeured 740Li Individual. On the weekend he only drives his M models. One of his favorites is his M1. Hence the M1 pro car ED at the Welt.


Some of the ///M cars in his collection:

2002tii
3.0csl
M1
M1 pro car
several M3's, M5's, M6's of all generations.
1M
Z4
Z1 in black
Z1 Alpina in red
750 Li Series E38 Individual
current 740Li

On his wish list is the new Active Hybrid 7er and X5M when they are available in Japan. and when the cars in his collection need servicing... they are sent to BMW Classic in Munich.

Wow. 3.0 CSL is awesome. But so is that Z1 - what a remarkable car. Still looks so fresh even today. That design has aged beautifully.

Nice!

I'm sure every M car means owning every generation of every M car?
But.....does he own a McLaren F1 powered by a ///M V12?
