BMW Attacking Elk.
At least a 5 series. The 3 series isn't big enough to be ethical.
X5. Preferably the turbo diesel version! I miss my 3-series...
You got 4 wheels in the 3 series. That should be plenty to bring it down. It's all about wheel placement.Quote:

Use the search function in the right section. MODs please move this to the hunting discussion thread...............[ROFL1]
It's really about handling more than cubic displacement. I hear guys talking about, "Oh you've gotta have a 7 series if you want to bring them down at long range." I think that's BS though; I've seen plenty of them taken with a 328i up to a 335xi. You don't need anything bigger than that in CO.
Overweight secretary laying down suppressive fire while waving and listening to her I-pod should protect the BMW from any elk damage. [ROFL1]
Gotta have at least 17" rims on that whip too.
It's all dependent on if you have the BMW night vision package and can tag them while they are standing in the line of fire asleep.
I think you could take one with a 1-series at close range, out a little further if its the twin turbo..
Who cares. I am going to start post a under a new screen name.Quote:

Love this thread
Gotta go with Baily on this one. Bringing a Beemer to an Elk fight is like bringing 9mm to a gun fight. [Peep] [Luck]
Powerstroke, get it over quick.
Lol what are you smoking...that powerstroke will break down before the elk gets his rocks off on the sissy Bmws trunk!Quote:

Why is it always the expensive BMWs? A VW can do the job just as well!
Almost any 4-wheel vehicle can bring down an elk with sufficient speed.Quote:

If ballistic glass is not attainable, an F150 or larger is recommended.
That is quite awesome...Quote:

tactical elk-killing driving school?
Taught at the same place as tactical stapler weapons class.
A K1200LT would certainly bring down an elk, but I don't want to be the hunter. Doing it with 2 wheels is more sporting...like archery season, but different.
Not even archery like trying to make it tap out Mma styleQuote:

Guess I need a larger car to take elk.
I had a lot of success with deer in a 79 Datsun Sentra, but that was before I moved to Colorado.

Wouldn't want to be caught in elk mating season without enough car.
lol @ "chicks love my beemer"[ROFL1]Quote:

X5M or 1M. Just in case the elk can run really really fast. Love driving those M series :)
Any will work as long as it is outfitted appropriately with a 40% mark-up on accessories, a guide, and somebody to clean up the mess when it is done.

If I'm driving on private property, do I still need a hunting license?
Not if you beep at the gate first!
Get a BMW 2002 - or any of the models from back when they actually used some real metal in them.
