It took a minute and a half for Neiman Marcus to sell out every single one of its special edition BMW M6s. That's no hyperbole; the upscale retailer and caterer to all folks bougie sold all 50 Bimmers, at $139,000 a pop, in 1:32, mostly by phone. Psychologists say the Ruby Black exterior finish accented with Piano Black trim elements, and power sports seats wrapped in a custom Gold Brown shade of supple BMW Individual Merino leather penetrated the psyches of the idle rich, causing a kind of madness called Bimmentia. Go, scarcity economics, it's your birthday...

Oh, I didnt tell you guys? I bought two of them. I figured while I was on the phone with them, I might as well get one for the misses. You know..."His" and "Hers"
This got me thinking about an official Jalopnik vehicle. You know, one that Wert could hop out of after pulling up to CNBC and random press conferences - Brian Fantana style?
I feel like this could be a sweet thread - what car should this be and what customized pieces are necessary (besides the obvious internet connection and fender-mounted camera for spy shots)?
Oooooh...the Merino Leather feels so good!
and SwatLax, I'm putting my vote in for '74 AMC AMX. Oh yeah!
A custom built official Jalopnik vehicle? That's a pretty scary thought.
See, I'm thinking we give a nod to the always fiesty and good for entertainment Jason Vines and get a Sprinter, with an Ariel Atom being towed behind for whenever Davey runs across an autocross.
Inside the van, you've got a full bar, should it be necessary to play "The Official Jalopnik Pundit Drinking Game." DSG (or whatever Audi wants to call it) transmission swapped in. "I HATE STEFAN ERIKSSON" bumper sticker. Have one of you Jalops already taken the "JALOPNK" vanity plate in Michigan?
Oh, and an Autobot for the hood ornament - just for Ray.
I hope this indicates to BMW NA that there is a market for the Individual program here in America. I need my 7 series wrapped in soft butter leather... you know... for the ladies.
Swat -- You win.
