For $160,000, you can own a Neiman Marcus Limited-Edition 2009 BMW Individual 7 Series, ordered via the high-ed retailer's 82nd Christmas Book catalog. Only 31 are available, and with it BMW is offering "customers who purchase the vehicles an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime European adventure, in which they will be able to take delivery of the automobiles from the BMW Welt in Munich, Germany in April 2009 and then set off on a multi-city lavish vacation in the South of France." We'll circle this like we did with those sparkling white roller skates in the Sears catalog when we were kids. [PR Newswire]
