Yea I agree with you guys. I personally wouldn't start with the X as well. But this makes it that much more cool.

I guess that is true, if you throw a lot of money at any vehicle you can make it off road worthy...

Your rig must be differant than mine.....for the life of me I can't find how to move the transfer case to low....I must have got the non off-road package...

if you are trying to build a serious offroad machine this certainly isnt the best base im sure...

this particular one is built for one main capability - fun. and in in that respect its very very capable. tearing around with the manual transmission is an absolute blast, and id dare you not to be smiling ear to ear when behind the wheel.

preserving on-road fun wast a concern because i have this little guy to quench that thirst -



heres a few more cell pics of the "battleX" -

lol, Different.

I said I agree, it's not the best for off road, but still cool, and still doesn't change the fact that it is capable. Maybe not for the most hard core shit out there.

You may have missed a few threads over the years. Let me help you out there.

Some people have a pair big enough to try new shit, some don't.

yep - although i dont log on often. i mostly hang in the coupe group on FB.

i co-founded/own Never Done Design House that produces a lot of Z3 goodies under our garage facet... the Z3 community is a diehard close-knit group of enthusiasts and we have been lucky enough to earn their trust with our products keeping us mainly focused on that platform.
