73-year-old retired entrepreneur from Germany that has received the keys to his 135th BMW car, a spanking new 507HP M6 coupe equipped with the Competition Package. Talk about a loyal customer... The 73 year-old's first bimmer was a 1800ti from 1963. If you do the math, that comes to an average of 2.9 BMWs per year. All in all, BMW said that Klaus owned 26 BMW M-division models, 29 BMW Alpina cars and 80 other BMWs. Hit the jump to watch a short video of Klaus receiving his M6.

Wow, BMW should put a picture of this guy up in the BMW Museum. That is some statement of brand loyalty.

Of course, when you go to the blog with the story, there are som very mean-spirited comments about the guy. Human nature is sometimes so jealous. Why can't folks just be happy for the guy?
