Everybody doesn't live in California or South Beach. I love to ski. I think some of you guys need to think a little outside your boxes.

I picked up my M5, took her home, loaded her with camping gear and went camping. Cars are meant to be used.

You could fit a bunch of hockey sticks in there.

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

Two words: "parts bin". While there are obviously many "M" specific parts in the F10 M5, many of the more pedestrian parts (like the rear seat back) are used in common across the platform. I don't know of the base F10 has the ski bag as standard or an option. If standard, it would cost more to build the M5 without it. If an option, it probably doesn't increase the build price significantly for BMW anyway. And I am willing to bet that, if they did not include it, we would have had a thread asking why it isn't there and why BMW would offer this in the other F10s and not on the 'flagship" M5. It seems we M5 owners are a fickle bunch: we complain when we are denied something and question when we are given something.

As an aside, I did occasionally use the ski bag in my E60. Once for bringing my new skis up to my house in VT over the summer and a few times for other odd sized things that would not fit in the trunk and I dod not want to put in the back seat.

That has got to be one of the most lame questions (why ski bag)

This is why:

http://www.autogespot.com/bmw-m5-f10/2014/01/02





Over here, a typical M5 or Panamera owner is one who leads an active lifestyle. That includes either having a cabin in the mountains or driving there in the weekends to go skiing...

I mean, even a Koenigsegg or Lambo is equipped with a skibox on the roof here





The Lambo is owned by Swedish freeskier, and Gumball 3000 participant, Jon Olsson:

He now has a RS6 though:



But before that he had an R8:

The paint scheme on that Lambo looks SICK!

There's really just one reason why I don't like to drive the M5 in the snow even if I had Winter Wheels and Tires: SALT! I've already been skiing once this season and I did not take the M5, I took my other car instead. When I got back, my other car was completely covered in dirt and SALT. What a pain.

OK, that has got to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen!

I think the paint scheme totally works on the RS6 and the Lambo because of the sharp body lines those cars already have. SO freaking coool!!!

Now I want to be a Freeskiier! Lol!
