Global Automotive Concierge — Est. 2018 · USA · Germany · UAE · UK
The vehicle you want exists somewhere in the world. We find it, acquire it, and deliver it to your door — across any border, at any specification, with nothing left to chance.

The Founder
Kris built M4LM from the ground up. What began as an automotive auction operation has become a global concierge trusted by heads of state, members of royal families, and some of the most recognisable names in sport and entertainment. She did not inherit a network. She built one, transaction by transaction, over more than a decade.
Educated at Oxford Brookes University and the University of Oxford, Kris operates across three entities: M4LM in the United States, M4LM GmbH in Germany, and The Upgrade Society, a lifestyle concierge platform for clients whose needs extend beyond the automobile. She is a registered government contractor on SAM.gov, and her client relationships span Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and North America.

About M4LM — Est. 2018
M4LM was founded in 2018 on a simple observation: the world's finest automobiles were available to those with the right connections. We built those connections. Since then, we have moved rare, high-performance, armoured, and bespoke vehicles to clients across five continents — heads of state, members of royal families, global athletes, and the founding network who trusted us early.
Every client we have ever worked with came through a referral. That is not a policy — it is what happens when the work is done correctly. When a name reaches us, it is because another name sent them.
We operate through three entities: M4LM in the United States, M4LM GmbH in Germany, and an active presence across the UAE. Customs clearance, compliance, international shipping, armoring specifications, and aftermarket configuration are handled in-house. Not outsourced. Not improvised.
We began as an automotive auction specialist, sourcing exceptional vehicles at wholesale and passing the advantage directly to our clients. That founding discipline — access, precision, discretion — remains at the core of everything we do today.
M4LM operates on a referral-first basis. New client intake is available through existing clients or membership in The Upgrade Society — our sister company for lifestyle concierge services beyond the automobile. Members receive priority access to M4LM client intake.

Selected Deliveries
Delivery — Abuja, Nigeria
A West African head of state required a factory armoured Cullinan. After a meeting with him and his team, the brief was clear: black, understated, no exceptions. We sourced an armoured unit to VR6 standard, handled every customs clearance without a single delay, and delivered within 90 days. The presidency did not ask for updates. They did not need to.
They have since referred two other families in government.
Delivery — South of France & Dubai
A prominent figure in global football came to us with a singular brief: a Ferrari F12 Novitec N-Largo, finished to his exact specification — nothing less. We sourced the base car, commissioned the full Novitec conversion, and had it waiting on the Côte d'Azur within weeks. He enjoyed it on the Riviera roads. When he flew to Dubai for the holidays, we arranged for the car to follow. It arrived before he did.
Automotive Concierge Services
M4LM handles the entire acquisition from first conversation to final delivery. We source, negotiate, transport, clear customs, and hand over — anywhere in the world. The question is never whether it can be done. It is how quickly, and to what specification.
The vehicle you want is somewhere in the world. We find it — through dealer networks, private collections, and auction floors that are not open to the public. What you gain is access that most buyers will never have.
Customs clearance, compliance documentation, freight coordination, and final handover — all managed in-house. Your vehicle arrives at your door in the condition it left ours. Nothing is left to a third party.
Every vehicle is inspected before it moves. Pre-delivery checks, condition reports, and a direct handover to you or your team — wherever you are. You receive a car, not a transaction.
Factory-armored units to VR4, VR6, and VR7 specification. Aftermarket upgrades, bespoke wraps, and commission builds. The brief is yours — we execute it without compromise.
Purchase agreements, deposit structures, and payment arrangements tailored to the transaction. Clear terms, no ambiguity, and a process that reflects the level of the vehicle being acquired.
The relationship does not end at handover. Maintenance coordination, warranty management, and access to our network for any requirement that follows — because the clients we work with expect continuity, not closure.
Tell us what you want — make, model, specification, timeline. We listen before we move.
We locate the vehicle, verify its condition, and negotiate the terms. You are kept informed, not burdened with the process.
Customs, compliance, freight, and handover — managed end-to-end. Your vehicle arrives exactly as agreed.

Our Wall of Fame
Our client roster is confidential by design. When a name reaches us, it's because another name sent them. Every delivery below is real — sourced, transported, and handed over by M4LM.
Client Stories
Every delivery is a private matter. These clients chose to share their experience. We share it with the same discretion they showed in trusting us.

Door to door. Continent to continent. Zero compromise.
"I didn't think it was possible to ship a Rolls-Royce from the US to Ghana and have it arrive in better condition than it left. Kris handled every detail — customs, logistics, the interior protection, all of it. I never had to follow up once. The car arrived exactly as promised, and my family was waiting at the door when it did. That's not a service. That's a standard."

Retail is optional. Wholesale is the standard.
"I came to Kris knowing what I wanted. What I didn't know was how much I was overpaying everywhere else. He sourced my GLS 600 directly from auction, saved me over $64,000 off retail, and then structured the registration through Alaska to save me an additional $11,000 in taxes. I drove off in my dream car and kept over $75,000 in my pocket. That's not a deal. That's a strategy."

Built to spec. Registered. Flown to Dubai. In time for his birthday.
"The brief was specific: source an F12, modify it exactly to my taste, handle the registration, and have it in Dubai before my birthday. Kris delivered on every single point. The wrap, the interior, the wheels — every detail was executed exactly as I envisioned. And when I landed in Dubai, the car was already there waiting. That level of precision is rare. I've worked with a lot of people. This was different."

The Work, In Motion
A curated record of deliveries, savings, and access. Most of our clients prefer to remain private — but the work speaks for itself.
Client identities are protected by default. Those who know, know.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before starting a conversation with us.
You tell us the vehicle — make, model, spec, color, and any bespoke requirements. We source it through our wholesale dealer network, present you with pricing that reflects what the market actually pays (not retail), and manage the entire acquisition, registration, and delivery process from there. Most clients are presented with options within 48–72 hours of inquiry.
Yes. We operate across the US, Europe, UAE, and the UK, and we have delivered vehicles to clients on six continents. International deliveries — including air freight, customs clearance, and in-country registration — are handled in-house. If you're outside our primary markets, contact us and we'll confirm coverage for your location.
M4LM is built for the segment where wholesale access creates meaningful savings — typically vehicles priced at $80,000 and above at retail. That said, every brief is different. Some vehicles below that threshold are straightforward to source and require minimal input; others at any price point are complex. If you're unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, reach out. We'll tell you directly, and if we can help, we will.
A broker finds a car and charges a fee. A dealership sells you their inventory at retail. M4LM operates as a wholesale acquisition concierge — we access the same dealer-only channels, auction networks, and factory pipelines that the trade uses internally, and we bring that access to private clients. We don't have a lot. We don't have inventory pressure. We work for you.
Yes. Factory commissions — including Rolls-Royce Bespoke, Bentley Mulliner, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, and similar programs — are a core part of what we do. We manage the specification process, factory liaison, and delivery logistics. We have delivered factory-commission vehicles to clients in the US, UAE, Europe, and West Africa.
Several US states — including Alaska and Montana — have no sales tax and allow non-residents to register vehicles through an LLC. For a vehicle priced at $300,000, this can eliminate $20,000–$40,000 in sales tax legally and in full compliance with state law. Brief 03 documents this strategy in full. Alternatively, we can implement it for you as part of our concierge service.
The Upgrade Society (TUS) is M4LM's sister company — a private membership that extends the same wholesale access philosophy to every area of your lifestyle: vehicles, private aviation, hotels, couture, and financial structures. Membership includes direct access to Kris, all four Intelligence Briefs, and the full M4LM dealer network. Membership is application-only. Pricing is not listed publicly — it is disclosed during the application review. M4LM clients receive priority consideration.
The Briefs are four standalone digital guides that document the strategies M4LM uses daily — wholesale acquisition, dealer licensing, registration tax elimination, and status architecture. They are written for buyers who want to operate at the same level as industry insiders, without commissioning a full concierge service. Each brief is a one-time purchase with instant digital delivery.
Still have a question?
We respond to every inquiry personally. No bots, no templates.
Client Intake
Every M4LM engagement begins with a brief. Tell us the vehicle — make, model, specification, country of delivery. We will respond within 24 hours with a direct assessment: whether we can source it, at what price level, and on what timeline.
There is no obligation and no sales process. If we can help, we will tell you exactly how. If we cannot, we will tell you that too.
