BMW - The Ultimate Diving Machine

[CathyI8205]

Now if you want to see a smile, when I'm headed down to Florida with my dive bag on the luggage rack of my Midget, there is none bigger in the world ! ! !

Kracken, Does your MG fit in your dive bag?

Two sets of gear will barely fit in the back of a Corvette. Though loading and unloading the tanks over that high rear end is kinda scary...

I managed to surprise a number of people today when I pulled up to a local dive site in my Z3 with all my diving gear plus 3 tanks.

Seen all the responses - amateurs.
Why was everybody surprised, when you're driving the such a HUGE BMW?

Everything for a weekend of camping and diving, 175 miles from home, on a BMW R1100RS, and that's BEFORE I got the factory topcase. Haven't tried it with the doubles yet, but eventually....

Damn near !!!!

Personally, I prefer my Honda Element. All the room I need for two sets of scuba gear and a rinse bucket, tie-downs for my cylinders, a tailgate for gearing up, and a detachable canopy for inclement weather. Then, when I get home, I can rinse out my gear and the inside of my vehicle with the same garden hose ...

Ok, does it have four wheel drive? if so, I may have to look at one. That one hose cleaning cannot be overstated for value.

O.k. you got me here. And I thought it was impressive for a car that you can't fit a bag of golf clubs in the trunk.
