It's made by people from Munich.

URBAN LEGEND · 07-01-2013, 08:37 PM

500+ rwhp, rear wheel drive, and 295/30s. Really? A ski bag?

The Bavarians stick snow tires on it and go skiing. I'm not kidding. I used to work in Munich.

They're not pussies like Americans who can't drive in the snow even with AWD.

Nate@IND · 07-01-2013, 08:49 PM

I put a roll cage in the M5....

kylek13 · 07-01-2013, 09:24 PM

Maybe in south beach bro....

Studed snow tires and clear bra

.... But I do agree F Ski's, Use a roof rack for snowboards.

Just to confirm, I'm British, and I used to drive my 70s Dodge Challenger in the snow. It's not complicated. Just don't mash the pedals like a gorilla or steer like a fucking cartoon character.

Some people will use the car all year round and find the ski bag very practical...
I've used it in winter and obviously it keeps your skis from being exposed to road salt etc (and not having to install a god ugly roof box)

But as you're asking , the same question could go for "Why on earth does anyone in the US buy a +500hp car?" , doesn't make much sense either

Netwon · 07-02-2013, 05:03 AM

Personally I like to use it to load lumber and plumbing parts from Home Depot... NOT!!!!

Boss330 · 07-02-2013, 05:47 AM

Because it's a regular BMW F10 based car that is also designed to be used year round as a families means of transportation. In Norway, you can't have a family car that doesn't do winter driving.

Just use the (mandatory in some countries) winter tires and it's just as well suited to winter driving as a 520D, 535i or 550i. If you are driving to the mountains for your weekend skiing etc, why not drive in style?

The Koenigsegg can be fitted with a roof mounted ski box... And the M5 is not some super exotic car that isn't designed to be driven in the snow. It's a "regular" BMW F10...

Why would anyone buy a liter bike bike putting out 180 rwhp with TC and anti wheelie? Doesn't make sense.

kiwistu · 07-02-2013, 04:48 PM

It does if it's you only car!

I haul all sorts of stuff in my car, from xmas trees, kids, dogs, boards, bikes why not ski's?

In fact as a teenager we used get passed going to the mountain by dudes in 635csi's and sierra cosworth's...and we'd all dream about getting a car that is actually too fast...now is me :-)

M5 a car to drive to the mountain? oh yes.

Cheers

py0413 · 07-02-2013, 06:21 PM

The "making sense" group of people are on Prius or Yaris forum. We are just a bunch of crazy drivers all around the world.

At once, I was really considering loading a piece of woof by using that ski bag and I have up because I wouldn't know how to fold it back.

Orjan · 07-03-2013, 08:46 AM

F10 M5 winter testing....

Seriously though, that is what the RRS SC is for

Yep, people in Europe put snow tires on just about anything and drive it to the mountains.

SANguru · 07-03-2013, 03:56 PM

because you can... We went up to a ski resort on winter tires in the Dolomites for my ED.

Axvel · 07-04-2013, 11:41 AM

I use mine for fishing rods
