Guy in Denmark does conversions, mainly MB sel but seen others by him. I believe BMW did a 3 series pick up early 80s, price was 80,000 DM at the time

Looks good,I wonder why BMW never went down the route of making pickups or vans. :thumbsup:

I am sure I saw an M pickup on top gear that the M mechs had made for a "bit of a laugh and for ferrying bits and pieces about" read publicity years ago.

Nicely done but what's the point. A waste of a perfectly good M3 ! :thumbsdown:

Apparently, BMW themselves mocked one up for an April fools joke a few years ago..

It does look nicely done, but I'd rather just go and buy a Vauxhall Maloo with over 500bhp! :lol:

The tailgate construction is also very practical....

The shape of the bumper and rear bootlid part dont lend themselves to hinge like a normal pickup....


They did thought the stock m3 was a little bit low on power though...

Nice work but surely the 3er is a bit small to make a decent pickup, the 5er is a better size
