For you younger, athletic, skateboarders out there. This is BMW's attempt to expand your grinding skills to your car. That's right you can now do similar grids with your car. The list includes but are not limited to:

50-50 Grind
5-0 Grind
Nosegrind (hence the flatter nose on the F10 just in case you wipe out primo)
Feeble Grind
Tailslide
Bluntslide and more... Free wax with every purchase.

It serves a secondary purpose. (Clears throat)

It goes the entire length of the car and has a center groove so the when you are driving, on water, it acts like a surf board. It gives you about 15 more feet of play before your car sinks and all your money goes down the drain so to speak.
