Muddier the better
We need to prove they are capable and you seem the type. If I win the lottery I will buy one and put tracks on it like a digger

When on posting menu, click upload file at bottom. Click Select file, then select it (I know it needs to be 'on' your device first). Then click the cursor where you want it and the file (then selectable at bottom - full size)

Different, true, the alloys on mine were on when I bought it two years ago, the tyres work well as general purpose, most of my off road is muddy farm tracks. The tarmac round us is pretty rough too. I noticed famous road repairers "Patch it and bodge it" have been out with left over tarmac to smooth the lanes for a week or two.

The knobbly tires on black rim are okay on Tarmac with the pressures up, as long as it's smooth and not v hot or v wet. Potholes and rough roads they get bumpy and loud. Anything sticky or deep they come alive.
The coopers are M/T's too but act like A/T's on the road.
Extra chunky ones on the front where the engine weight is solves the need for a winch

Mine's a 2004 FL1 5 door V6. Had it for 3 years. It was my problem child for the first couple of years but I have got it mostly sorted and it's been doing a reliable 375km a week.
Only had to change the ECU, belts, water pump, thermostat, coolant hoses,cams (changed the front head while I was at it) coils, various sensors, VIS motors (Several) and a lot of other stuff I have forgotten.
Next up-brakes. Optional stuff included a new head unit and speakers, big driving lights,and a set of General Grabbers.
I may be nuts but I love it!

I have a 2003 k series 1.8. Only 80,000 miles. I have to say, it's been a good motor, a few niggles here and there but nothing major (yet). At some point I'd like to upgrade to a td4 cos it's about all I could afford. Do all the td4s have the BMW engine? If not, how do you tell which ones do.
