BMW spent the summer readying for the rollout of its new compact X2 series of all-activity crossover, and is marking its entry into the marketplace by entering a prepped version of its in the 2023 Rebelle Rally, the longest off-road rally competition in the United States, which covers 1,200 miles in eight days from Mammoth Lakes, California, to Indian Dunes near the Mexican border. The all-new X2 will take part in the X-CROSS category and will be crewed by rally veterans Rebecca Donaghe and Sedona Blinson.
Given the nature of the route, a rally-prepped car is essential for anyone intending to take on the Rebelle. To that end, the rally X2 has been beefed with specialized Falken tires, Rotiform wheels, a Thule roof race, Smittybilt recovery gear, and all-important tow straps from BMW M Performance Parts. Interested? The X2 will hit BMW showrooms in the first quarter of 2024, with an opening MSRP of $42,000.
