When I first came across the image featured here my first thought was that this was some sort of colostomy bag for BMWs.
On further reading, however, it actually transpires that it’s an inflatable living area – aka tent – that was developed for the BMW series 1 launch a couple of years ago.
Apparently designed to be inflated via a fan hooked up to the car’s cigarette lighter, this instant inflatable shelter is actually quite a neat idea that, as far as we are aware, never actually saw the light of day – perhaps on account of the fact that BMW drivers have enough problem using their indicators let alone having to work out how to inflate a tent at the back of the car.

Parachute?
Rearward external airbag?
Flotation device?
(none of those can top “colostomy bag” though LOL)
It looks like it could be so much more than just an inflatable tent.
