Bengal businessman gifts son Rs 2.30 crore BMW M4 Competition for good Class 9 marks

A businessman from Galsi in West Bengal's East Burdwan district has gifted his son a BMW M4 Competition car after the boy scored good marks in his Class 9 half-yearly examination. The car is said to cost about Rs 2.30 crore. A video of the gift is going viral on social media.

Shamsuddin, a businessman from Galsi, gave the gift to celebrate his son's success and to fulfil a long-cherished dream. The son had long wanted to drive a BMW M4 Competition. To fulfil the wish, the father travelled to Mumbai and bought the car his son liked. According to the father, he had to make the long journey from Bengal to Mumbai for it. The unusual gift drew much talk on social media.

Shamsuddin has a special liking for expensive cars. His collection already includes vehicles from well-known makers such as Range Rover, Volvo, Mahindra Thar and Hyundai Alcazar. The BMW M4 Competition has now been added to it. This time, however, the reason for buying the car was not his own hobby but his son's dream.

Shamsuddin likes not only particular car models but also particular registration numbers. Several of his vehicles have numbers ending in 555. The same digits match the numbers on the cars of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan.

His interests are not limited to expensive cars. He is also described as active in social service and comes forward to help the poor and needy. He is said to sometimes help those in need quietly.

The son said that for now he wants to focus only on his studies. Once a week, however, he will enjoy a ride in the new car. On that day his father will drive and he will sit beside him.
