When Steve, who is Joanne Marsh’s husband, kicked the bucket at the age of 51, she wanted to accolade him with a gravestone he would be swollen with pride to rest under. The deceased was actually nicknamed as “BMW Steve,” and so it was only instinctive that Joanne and her two children wanted a BMW-stimulated sculpture.

The family got hold of a Chinese exporter eager to construct a scale-model BMW M3 convertible, Steve’s best-loved, entirely from granite. The cost of the model was £50,000 ($75,000), and has a weight of about a ton.

The hood consists of the BMW’s logo with the trunk, and the wheels. The model has Silver-painted headlights, quad exhaust system, and it also features a precise replica of the dashboard. The license plate on the car bears the phrase “Steve 1.”

Of course, not everybody is content about the enormous headstone. Some of them view it as a bit of a scorn in an otherwise gloomy location. But the family asserts otherwise, observing Steve’s warmth for the car, and his sense of wit.

Due to this, a family member positioned a fake parking ticket under the windshield wipers when the tombstone was revealed last month.
