![Businessman Gifts Son Studying In Class 9 A 500 Bhp BMW M4 Worth Over 2 Crore [Video]](https://www.archyde.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/west_bengal_dad_gifts_son_class_9_bmw_m4_competition_500_bhp_featured_f884aee7e0-768x402.webp)
A West Bengal businessman gifted his 15-year-old son a BMW M4 Competition worth about Rs 2.30 crore after the student performed well in his Class 9 half-yearly examinations.
The luxury sports car arrived in Paraj village, located in the Galsi area of Purba Bardhaman district, on Friday, November 6, 2026. It was transported from a showroom in Mumbai inside a specially enclosed container, according to NDTV.
The gift caused discussion on social media. Some users praised the father for rewarding academic effort. Others questioned the appropriateness of gifting such an expensive vehicle to a teenager, Moneycontrol reported.
A reward for exams
Mohammed Talha, the student, had expressed a long-standing desire to own the BMW M4 Competition. His father, businessman Shamsuddin Midya, promised to fulfill this wish if he achieved good marks in his exams, Cartoq noted.
Midya traveled to the Andheri area of Mumbai to purchase the vehicle from a local showroom after the half-yearly examination results were announced, Prabhat Khabar said.
Talha is a minor and does not possess a driving license. He cannot legally drive the car on public roads, so he intends to focus on his studies for the time being and plans to take a weekly ride in the vehicle as a passenger while his father drives, Asianet Newsable reported.
Midya’s business and cars
Midya operates three rice mills in the Purba Bardhaman district. His business includes international exports to countries such as Dubai, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam, Prabhat Khabar reported.
His career began in 2003 when he moved to Mumbai for employment, where he worked as a lightman on Bollywood film sets for about seven years before returning to West Bengal in 2010 to start his rice trading business, Cartoq stated.
The BMW M4 Competition is the latest addition to a collection of high-end vehicles owned by Midya. His collection includes:
- Range Rover Autobiography
- Volvo XC90
- Mercedes-Benz C-Class
- Mahindra Thar Roxx
- Hyundai Alcazar
Midya reportedly favors car registration numbers that end in “555”. This is a preference shared by Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, Asianet Newsable reported.
BMW M4 specifications
The luxury coupe uses a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder petrol engine. In the M xDrive configuration, the engine produces 530 bhp and 650 Nm of peak torque, NDTV stated.
The vehicle features an 8-speed automatic gearbox and an all-wheel-drive system. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in 3.5 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 250 kmph, Cartoq reported.
