A group of 800 highly enthusiastic children aged between 5 and 13 years took just four days to build this BMW X1 from mostly yellow LEGO bricks. Danish brand LEGO has been giving joy to children from around the world for 50 years. The model was built to scale which means it is 4.5 metres long, 1.8m wide and 1.5m high.
BMW initiated the artwork to raise funds for socially disadvantaged children. For every built-up LEGO block the company will donate money to the Children's World "Die Arche" in Munich. Apparently a total of about 165,000 LEGO bricks were used.
The car will be on exhibition at the BMW Welt ("BMW World" in German) building in Munich from November 25.

Nice advertisement :))
Introducing the next generation X3... Yes.. it's yellow. Yes.. It's made out of Lego. Yes... It looks better then the first generation.
with this wheels the ride would be even worse than on standard bmw run flats.
Highly impressionable minds belong to juveniles and when they do something this precocious, it should be celebrated. BMW should be proud they have got the attention of kids with the forthcoming X1, considering the global (or Top Gear Jezza's) response to the X3.
We should be scared what will happen in car design and among hob-pen gurus.
How have they done this? Every time I see this car I love the long bonnet more and more
