So are we talking every model year of every M car ever

shivaswrath · 11-02-2014, 09:56 PM

So this dude...lives in Japan and houses all these M cars??!! That should be the headline, there's like no garage space there at all over there!

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.

Are their pics of the M7? Would like to see that!

abirmaher · 11-03-2014, 09:28 AM

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..

Insert Viagra joke here

M7? Wow

So if you have lots of money, you can just request BMW to build you a vehicle that is not part of the standard lineup? Hot damn

brio · 11-03-2014, 11:21 AM

Wow...this guy is my idol.

brio · 11-03-2014, 01:48 PM

So, I'd love to know what Mr. Hosobuchi does for a living? His collection sounds amazing.

And he ships his cars from Japan to Germany for oil changes..

EdM5 · 11-03-2014, 03:35 PM

Just awesome

Congratulation on an awesome collection.

BMW Magazine should do an exclusive of his garage.

VMRWheels · 11-03-2014, 07:42 PM

I think it is more about not wanting to attract attention but he is not the only customer. Although you may think it is all about money some special customers have leeway due to status and relationship that goes beyond just buying the car.
Some very rich customers who throw money down do get told no on the basis that it is not practical for the company to apply or fulfil.

There is an old saying "Just because you have everything does not mean you are everything"

BMWintoxication · 11-05-2014, 03:20 AM

my dream of having all the "current" M cars stopped when the X5/6 M came out.

Dackelone · 11-05-2014, 07:11 PM

Looks like Mr. Hosobuchi is no different than anyone else who does ED!

Only thing that's missing is the obligatory "Castle" picture with car in Hohenschwangau!!!!
