From the looks of it, this isn’t just a very clean exterior mod, but also a more powerful car altogether.

The base model for this pickup Bimmer was the E30 BMW 3 Series convertible. This is the soft top version, and after removing said soft top, the owner converted the rear end of the vehicle into a flat bed. He did it quite seamlessly, and this wasn’t all he did.

After the flatbed was complete, he then went and added a lot of M3 parts, including front and rear bumpers and fenders. Next step was replacing the engine with something more powerful. While most would have opted for S14 engine found in the E30 BMW M3, the owner got himself a 4.0 liter V8 from the E34 BMW 540i which is good for about 286 Hp.

One particular segment of the market regards pick-up, and as you might know, BMW does not build any.

At least, they haven’t built any so far, and the future holds no certainty that this will keep true. The same was thought about a forward wheel drive BMW, and that is on its way. Still, while there are no manufacturer BMW pick-ups out there, there are a few custom builds.

This particular one, like all the others, doesn’t seem to be all that special. The rear end was chopped off, some reinforcing and a flatbed later and the job was done. But the owner claims one fabulous thing. This is one of only 2 cars to have ever been “authorized by BMW to be custom modified to pick-up version” (cough cough). I guess false advertising doesn’t really mean anything anymore.
