The exclusive warehouse of Neiman Marcus (www.neimanmarcus.com) publishes a special 'Christmas catalogus' every year, with a special product in it. This year a special edition of the BMW M6 Convertible was the lucky one. Only 50 were made, all for Neiman Marcus. The sales started on wednesday trough a special phone number, for $139.000 a piece. All 50 of them were sold in 97 seconds! The 500hp V10 car was for this occasion only available in black.

Just read about it in my local paper today along with a new Spyker dealer in Dallas.
There are 62 people on the waiting list for this car apparently.

They sold a submarine the other year for christmas it was crazy!
A couple more of their gifts this year ( I looked through the catalog after reading about the M6s yesterday) :
$161,000 Mont Blanc pen - one of only three available world-wide and the only one available in the US
$200,000 opal necklace - one-of-a-kind
$1,760,000 space trip aboard Virgin when they get it up and running
$3,000,000 membership to an exclusive wine resort with 6,000 sq ft villas, private pools, private car with driver for your entire family and all of your future descendents - forever.

They also sold a few copies of the Dodge Tomahawk a few years ago. The engine started and ran, but it was not hooked to the drivetrain. It was sold as an art piece.

Well, first, my mistake, there are 61....
Anyways, the other 11 people are probably folks who are waiting for one of the original 50 to make a transaction go through thus that person will lose the car.
