6SpeedOnline.com Formula BMW Racing Series for sale in Malaysia

Sick of just burning all your extra cash? You can buy an entire 25-car field of Formula BMWs right now instead!

This listing just might appeal to the ultra-billionaire who already has a garage filled with exotic hypercars and priceless classics. For likely a healthy six- or seven-figure number, you could own an entire racing series. This RaceCarsDirect sale includes 25 FB02 Formula BMWs used in the 2015 AsiaCup Series.

Yes, you could own an Instant Racing Series with just a phone call to Malaysia and a bank transaction big enough to stretch eyes into pie plates. The listing indicates that price is available on asking. That said, a typical used Formula BMW probably trades for somewhere around $40,000, though we suspect you might get a bulk discount.

The sale also includes a substantial spares inventory — enough spares to run a series, at least — as well as four shipping containers. That would allow you to ship the cars overseas, as would have been done in the AsiaCup Series.

We figure a round number in the ballpark of $1 million is probably a negotiating starting point. However, if the seller (Malaysia’ Meritus.GP racing team) wants to be rid of the cars soon, you might have a monster deal on your hands.

And what would you do with 25 open-wheel cars? If you’re not hurting for money, you could lay to waste anybody taking friends karting for a special occasion. “Oh, you drove fast karts for your buddy’s bachelor party? That’s cute. When I stood up for my friend last year, I took the lads out to do 150 miles per hour down Road Atlanta’s back straight in proper race cars.” Checkmate.

What would you be buying? The Formula BMW FB02 chassis was designed to slot in between Formula Ford and 2.0-liter formula cars. They make around 140 horsepower from a BMW K1200 motorcycle engine with a six-speed sequential gearbox.
