It’s still Star Wars Day, and if you think this post is the most tenuously-linked to the space-based saga yet and we’re shamelessly crowbarring it in… you’d be right. But the ‘F82’ generation BMW 4-Series is a  terrestrial X-Wing, because it will be travelling much too fast, way too close, and be piloted by a young guy (and it will be a young guy) who treats the motorway like the Death Star trench run in ‘A New Hope’.

Not that it’s the 4-Series’ fault; it’s a very good car, and the ‘F82’ generation isn’t blighted by the looks of its successor. But it’s also over a decade old, which means its price is now within reach of traffic weaving muppets.

Still, this BMW 4-Series isn’t two feet from the car in front being driven by a total toolbox, as it comes instead from previous bloggee Mihail Rakovskiy, who has recreated the ‘F82’ in stunning detail.

The interior, engine, and even drivetrain/chassis are as beautifully lifelike as the exterior, and you can find more superb images at Mihail’s ‘BMW F82’ album on Flickr. Click the link above to turn your route home from work into your very own Death Star trench run.
