It’s an amphibious exploration vehicle

u/Aggravating_Speed665 1d ago

Look, guys, this car was built for this, okay?

It's got air intake valves.

This is precision British land- to-sea craftsmanship at work.

All terrain vehicle

A finisher car

Did they get the jetski trailer out too?i bet it was a jetski trailer

u/Biszkopt87565 1d ago

Yes, he had jetski trailer

u/Reasonable-Nebula-49 1d ago

It was actually launching something?

11

u/Spretzur 1d ago

No, he parked it there so he could go creep on some underage girls on a pontoon boat.

Nothing wrong with that, I think that's still fine. That's not just a car, though. It's a lifestyle. A European sports utility vehicle. A wonderful machine. One could use it to traverse the Serengeti of their life.

It's not a starter car - it's a finisher car, a transporter of gods.

A golden god.

Classic BMW owner parking somewhere they’re not allowed to park

u/donatecrypto4pets 20h ago

They had the turn signal on, and lost track of what else to do.

Is he done yet?

u/ColinD1 1d ago

With which project?

u/zzzzaap 1d ago

Think of all the money saved in future maintenence!

2

u/redthump 1d ago

But through the magic of insurance....

u/DazingF1 1d ago

Through the magic of insurance the money is still gone?

The irony is that he was already underwater.

Who’s the U-Boat Commander?

u/rubbersidedown7 20h ago

Too far down.

u/NxPat 1d ago

I don’t think CPR is going to bring back that $1,000 key fob.

u/tthrivi 1d ago

Should have paid the extra subscription fee for the water floatees

So that's what the W stands for!

I guess he didn't pay his extra monthly amphibious costs

u/Handyr 1d ago

As if they don’t depreciate fast enough.

u/ParcelPosted 1d ago

It is worth more now because of this publicity.

In Michael’s defence : Car said to take right then and there only.

u/cassie65 1d ago

u/ParcelPosted 1d ago

Probably works about the same as before.

BMW with a front grille that looks like a beaver craves the water, makes sense

This kind of person are going to explain to you what sucess is and not able to drive a f*cking car.

No hate, eat the rich.

u/PilotKnob 18h ago

It’ll be on Facebook Marketplace next week with a salvage title and the title “Was totaled for a small scratch on the rear bumper.”

2

u/ArmouredArmadillo 17h ago

It is so damn ugly that it should've stayed underwater.

3

u/lessni 1d ago

you can't park there, mate!

(sorry, just had to do it).

u/amraohs 1d ago

Navigation said turn right....

u/realrichieporter 1d ago

Is that good? 😳🤔

u/NedRed77 1d ago

Well we don’t have to look at the ugly motherfucker anymore. So that’s a positive.

u/OkieBobbie 1d ago

That’s not its normal habitat.

u/frohstr 1d ago

Was the driver underwater on his loan?

u/Warm2roam 1d ago

Saddest part is thrs no question it was fully deserved

1

u/Aggressive-Jacket384 1d ago

Must be the water

1

u/Aptosauras 1d ago

Cars used to have this lever between the front seats that you pulled and the rear brakes would lock.

I wonder what happened to that.

u/Sirosim_Celojuma 1d ago

How? How did thjs happen? My guess is that the boat it was hauling was heavy, the ramp was steep, and the weight of everything just slipped in. I say this because that car will put itself in park if the driver gets out. The other possibility is the driver backed into the water intentionally, but that's harder to believe.

This makes me happy

BMW - Boat Motor Works

u/DJEvillincoln 22h ago

This thing is so common in my area that it might as well be a Civic.

I literally call it a boat because it's so huge.

1

u/mr_woodles123 22h ago

I swear they got daniella westbrook in on the design for that one.

u/QuickrobobroTheREAL2 22h ago

boat in the water, looks fine to me

u/Korgon213 21h ago

Didn’t use a turn signal either

u/ThisDriverX7 21h ago

One super large bag of rice should fix it right up. It’ll still be ugly tho

u/OldJaunty 21h ago

Who’s the UBoat captain?

1

u/YellowOnline 21h ago

I know nothing about cars - I don't even have a driver's license - so forgive me this question: can it still be saved if the motor wasn't submerged? It's not salt water either, so maybe if you really, really dry it well ... ?

Risky Business: “[thick Chicago accent] Who’s the U-boat commander?”

1

u/New_Breadfruit8692 21h ago

I doubt that will be salvageable. Too many sensors and systems and total dismantle, cleaning and reassembly, no way to economically bring it back.

1

u/bedwars_player 20h ago

that doesn't look expensive, that looks like the only way i'll ever be able to afford a 7 series

1

u/ChimkenNuggs 20h ago

A boat in it’s natural habitat

1

u/GampaR53 19h ago

I thought it was only the series 8 that could do that.

This makes me genuinely happy

u/Biszkopt87565 7h ago

Why? Are you jealous that someone can afford expensive car?

1

u/pope-burban-II 5h ago

No, it’s a bland slab of boredom on wheels.

1

u/Biszkopt87565 4h ago

It’s a luxury car. It supposed to be comfortable and luxurious, not sporty like some m3

1

u/pope-burban-II 2h ago

I don’t mean sporty. It just lacks character or anything interesting
