The genii of the M division must have been burning the candle at both ends recently: not content with creating a new range of ‘M junior’ cars in the form of BMW Performance Automobiles, they have also teamed up with winter sports experts K2 to create a limited edition pair of downhill skis.
Based on the K2 SideShow, the skis are not only given a long-winded name that seems to be common among modern BMWs (K2 LTD. BMW M Design Edition, if you’re interested), but they also inherit a petite BMW roundel and the familiar M-Sport colour scheme, as well as the usual technology provided by their SideShow ancestors. That means progressive sidecuts, all-terrain rockers and aspen/paulownia cores.
Limited to 500 pairs, the M Design Edition skis won’t be retailed at a premium as you’d expect; instead, they can only be won by competing in promotional challenges spanning 13 resorts in Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland, as part of BMW’s xDrive Cup.
