    That's no more a Countryman than the Camry in NASCAR is a Toyota.

    But it does look cool...........

    How could one not love a big hairy chested beast of a car like that. Rally your Clubman parked next to that would quite the contrast. :smile5:

    Yep - I suspect it's mostly BMW's previous X3 Dakar racer with new bodywork. When you watch the Dakar and see just how far they dismantle the car every evening, I can see the new bodywork that comes off in one piece will save them some time - and should make for good TV when they take it off!
