When a BMW 7 Series (E65) becomes an off-road monster!

Do you already have one? BMW 7er seen the one for that terrain was rebuilt? We present to you a project that is so unique that it almost seems unreal. A fourth generation BMW 7 Series from the Instagram account e65overland. Specifically one E65 7er, which according to our information is mostly from solvedgarage was put on its feet. He's not just higherbut also with Off-road tires equipped and wearing an eye-catching Rothmans livery. The 7er, a car originally released in 2001 under the direction of Chris bangle has always been controversial because of its design. But with a 2 inch (approx. 5 cm) Höherlegung and four powerful ones Hella headlights the luxury liner looks much cooler. He gets up 18 inch Rota rims, With the Yokohama Geolander tires upholstered, which gives it an absolutely successful look.

In contrast to many other off-road conversions, the E65 doesn't look messed up, but actually looks like it's ready for the next adventure. As already mentioned, the idea for the project comes from e65overland on Instagram, where the car was first shown in June 2023. At that point he was already with one roof rack and Off-road tires fitted. The Arcta tent Apparently it was added later. Despite the modifications, the car retains its appearance rear-wheel drive and is of course only partially suitable for the terrain. There is one working under the hood 3,0-liter six-cylinder (M57) turbodiesel from BMW, which is replaced by a modified Exhaust system and chip tuning 282 PS comes. Poly bushings front and one Limited slip differential The mods round off the back.

And what makes the adventure even more interesting in our eyes is the Bimmer's mileage. According to a post from January 2nd, he's already full 555.555 km (approximately 345.205 miles). And it seems he's come a long way since then. The car is only in its second owner and was purchased with a broken transmission at 335.000 miles, hence the reconstruction. There are still for the summer Long stroke springs planned to give the large sedan even more off-road capabilities. Until then, the LCI is living its best life and will probably regularly experience various adventures all over Europe. We can't wait to see what happens next with BMW's crazy project.
