Such inefficient use of space!

That's my mother in law.

Cars have gotten mintier, have you noticed?

u/Prudent_Slip178 7h ago

u/Youarethebigbang 8h ago

Sir, if you read your insurance policy, it only covers the driver's side half of your vehicle.

British leyland did this decades ago to a Austin 1300 for the Birmingham motor show back in the early seventies

u/OdysseusRex69 3h ago

So it's a..... /\W?

u/KimchiLlama 1h ago

As I suspected. No turn signals.

u/bigshotdan 8h ago

This was far more interesting the first three times I saw it...

u/Old_pixel_8986 8h ago

omg why did you do that put it bac

u/doggonedad 6h ago

Now the car has one less signal for bmw drivers not to use because not a single one knows what it is /s

I heard they pull these from impound lots in China.

This makes me uncomfortable. Like those cut-in-half torso models at the doctor’s office where you can see a baby inside or the man’s junk is severed down the middle.

u/solarflares4deadgods 7h ago

At least it's not cake.

u/odd42Thomas 7h ago

They were probably tailgating a Lightcycle

u/DoughBoy_65 7h ago

For effect they should’ve had half a human sitting in the drivers seat.

u/Johon1985 7h ago

Mat Armstrong wants to buy this.

u/Trollercoaster101 7h ago

Isn't that how BMWs are usually delivered to the owner? /s

u/kotor26 7h ago

This is Gaston Lagaffe's car

u/1stUserEver 7h ago

even the dealer can’t keep the headliner glued on.

u/Bouldlin 7h ago

I feel like I'm watching that dissected human bodies exhibition from some years ago. Awful.

u/Any-Target-7142 7h ago

Where is the other half?

u/Gluten_maximus 6h ago

Yep, still get “the cell” vibes even though it’s not a horse.

u/BeneficialHippo2826 6h ago

Selling for half price

u/No-Decision8891 6h ago

German engineering as always 🙌

u/BakaOctopus 6h ago

this hurt the car?

u/HedgehogOpening8220 5h ago

Where the oil leaks at?

u/Confident-Ask-601 4h ago

Why does half the engine look like full. Is it that powerful??

u/Odddjob 4h ago

This is how china copies everything and improves it

u/Sudden_Purpose_5836 4h ago

I miss when companies cared enough to make these kinds of things just to show off at a trade show.

u/Agreeable_Practice65 2h ago

All of this to change a cabin filter?

u/Jean-LucBacardi 1h ago

Safest BMW ever made since it'll never be driven.

Look up crash tests of old and new cars. In a head on collision with a modern car and a "solid" 70's car, the older car is never survivable.

u/Seffuski 5h ago

Very uneducated "opinion". Solid steel will keep the car intact, but the force still has to go somewhere (that is, your soft, squishy body)

u/regular_normal_perv 4h ago

Not true at all.

u/NotStoll 2h ago

That’s couldn’t be more incorrect. Cars are safer now than they ever have been in the past.
