BMW Car Camper: Keep Away From Open Flames

From the looks of this concept camper by BMW, I wouldn’t pitch it anywhere near an open flame. Whether a camp stove, a campfire, or just a lighter, this think looks like it could take off like a dead dandelion in the Santa Anas. Jokes aside, this two-person bubble tent was reportedly developed by BMW as part of its 1-series launch a couple of years ago, and recently surfaced in the blogosphere. You inflate it with a low-voltage fan that runs off of your car’s cig lighter. While I don’t think I would ever have a use for it, I think it’s at least an interesting concept as far as a camping accessory that works hand in hand with your car– car camping in its purest sense. I wonder how fast it would go down a snowy hill?
