Check out the BMW Air Camper

Just_me · 02-03-2007, 06:05 PM

The unique item attaches to the back end of the car, allowing campers to make use of the inside of the car, and is inflated is by a low-voltage fan hooked up to the car’s cigarette lighter. All-in, the Air Camper can accommodate two people.

We could think of many captions for this picture that would have us on the floor in stitches, but we'll leave that up to you in the comments. For our part, we'll tell you why this BMW 1-Series has a severely swollen rear end. The inflatable sphere hanging off the back is called the "Air Camper". According to Winding Road, which discovered the accessory in Intersection Magazine, the UK-based high-fashion mag commissioned BMW to produce the bubble camper in conjunction with the launch of the 1-Series a couple years ago. It sleeps two and is inflated by a low-voltage fan that draws power from the car's cigarette lighter. The add-on magically transforms the 1-Series into the Ultimate Camping Machine, and has the added bonus of hiding the polarizing lines of BMW's Bangle-era rear ends.

What else will think? God, that's just out of place...

PS. At first i thought that it was a parachute so that the car can stop easier...

Woah. First I thought it was a joke, then I realized how cool something like this could be for road trips. I'd love to try one out for a night! (If this Air Camper is a rockin'...)

That's a good one!

Isn't that the optional exterior airbag for rear collisions?

Pretty practical. No need to spend a lot of money on a camper which will be slower, handle worse and use more fuel. This makes a nice compromise. You get to drive your BMW and sleep beside it at the same time.
