Ever wanted an M5 pickup?
This chap in Australia did, or at least he wanted a ute. For those not familiar with the concept it is similar to a Ranchero or El Camino.

Take a look at his gallery and build stages.

Someone had posted this last year. I believe this is the 2nd E39 M5 conversion to pickup. I had seen another one few years back.

I couldn't find a reference to a previous post, but may have missed it. I think this is the same vehicle that was being designed in 2006, it was just finished and had a public debut.

Yes, it came around on the ol'JukeBox a while back...
it was Stuart Appleby's project. He's the PGA pro,
a car nut and a big wallet.
