Early 2001 BMW Street Carver Skateboard - Overview from my Manhattan Treehouse

- I had a meeting at BMW Design in Southern California and as soon I caught sight of their designed skate board, I had to pick one up! It's way more wild to ride than my Boosted board, but the use of a BMW 5-series E39 rear anti-roll-bar components made me bit the bullet to purchase it.
Manufactured in Germany and debuting in 2001, the Streetcarver stopped production in 2005 and had a BMWesque price of $500. It was heavy too at 11 pounds, most of it was cast aluminum for the suspension.
It gave more of a feeling of snowboarding on the street, and to stop you either ran off the deck, hopefully with the board not crashing on a curb, drug a foot on the ground or applied a shoe gently on the rear wheel.
Some interesting facts about the board are that the truck assemblies were cast aluminum, the wheels are two-piece five spoke alloys inspired by the X5, and the tires are a compound of rubber-polymer. The Razor Go-cart later used this wheel design as well, alas it was made in China, so probably a stolen deisgn! Авто/Мото
I have one. I bought it in London at the BMW showroom back in 2000 and it's still in my garage in New Zealand. Some of the cantilever steering parts are off an M5 🙂
Still a good solid platform for downhill carving, but it's just heavy to carry back up the hill!
I’m a kiwi in Scotland are these boards any good cheers Spike
@@spikearoonie8796 not really. I mean it's fun to ride, but it weighs about 15kg so too heavy to carry far
Thanks for the reply David
this was in the movie agent cody banks
You're comment beat me to it
I have one and i m desperatly looking for wheels !!! anybody have an idear where to find them or use other wheels that will match ?
Wow, what happened to yours? I'm sure you can find a cracked board - look on eBay for parts! Getting them from BMW is probably a lost cause.
Thank's for your answer , i actualy bought my BMW in 2000 and with time the wheels gum start to became very soft . you can cut them with your nail . So can't use it anymore . i'm probably not the only one ...@@DaveMathews
