Great ski taxi IMO

Yup, as soon as I saw the fake rivets, I rolled my eyes so hard I gave myself whiplash.

I tried to buy it and they say it's only for sale in Europe. They can't sell it in the USA.

The lift and off-road tires are all it needs. Everything else they did was a waste of time, effort, and money. Actually kind of nice to see a SUV in off-road trim for once, considering that is what they were originally intended for. As for the cost, it's nothing new. See: G-wagon, Land Cruiser, Range Rover, etc. Some people with money like to play in the dirt too!

BMW (and other OEMs) need to stop selling cars to these companies who just butcher them.

I like how aggressive this looks. Anyone know how they accomplished the lift? I know links can be used to lower, but can they also be used to raise? I would only want to raise just enough to clear the larger tires that appear to be ~1.3" taller than 22" OEM.

Looks like something you’d do in a dystopian mad-max like future. I don’t see the purpose in this unless you live literally up in the mountains and to get to your house requires driving on dirt roads, etc.

Looks interesting but not practical. If you’re thinking snow or ice performance than dedicated true snow tires would perform better than these all terrains.

Florida men would buy this truck in a heartbeat!

I think it looks pretty bad ass except for the fake rivets. Reminds me of the guys that like to put fake bullet holes on their car as if it's been in a shoot out. What the $!&@.

Following up on this thread to see if anyone knows whether coding can accommodate the wheel diameter variance? And whether links can be used to raise the car?

They won't sell it in the USA. I checked. Only in Germany.

It is special made for Germany.

the matt black is definitely thumbs up.
i like the combination of the rim and the AT tire, but asking me to take off the M sports 22" rim.......hell no!
maybe after few years when I'm tired of changing those expensive 22" flat rare tires......
