What would a X5 pickup look like?
 

Someone has too much time. ;)

Does it come with the cargo cover?

Being an Aussie I really like that idea! :)
There was an e39 m5 ute made by Robert Allenby (golfer) I thought that was an awesome project

I love it!

Especially with a diesel and a decent towing capacity

EWWWWW

Lol :))

I like it. Back wheel needs to be moved back about 6 inches but nice. Just think the M version could be the next "world's fastest pickup".

Cool photoshop, I would change the rear window to look more aerodynamic and smaller, the rest is good.

Ill comment later, right now I am focused on rinsing out what I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I like. BMW should build it. I'm sure it would sell. :thumbup:

The scary thing is that this truck looks better than pretty much every actual pickup on the road. Some amateur on photoshop just beat GM and Ford designers making millions. Maybe all car companies should do a design contest for new models?

I like it :) you might not like it because your used to your X5, but for a pickup it looks pretty good!

Subaru Baja? Would like to see using more squared off front end (E53), two doors, bigger bed, beefy 31"-32" tires on 18"-19" wheels, more ground clearance. :)

I'd rock that if I was aussie :D

It'd look good pulling my boat. The tailgate was fudged in the photoshop, the line where the hatch divides would need to disappear.

Hell, I'd buy one of those over the GT... And I'd honestly expect BMW to cave in and make something to this effect within the next decade or so, especially for the US market. The "premium truck" market currently consists of the Caddy truck thing and the H3 truck thingy... BMW could take a decent portion of the market niche if they give it good towing capacity.

Damn that thing is fugly. All it needs is a hitch with the balls hanging off it.

I would go for it.
I have too many rattling noises on my X5d from the trunk area, hope they will be avoided in this pick up truck version.

I was actually reading about a concept pickup from bmw sometime ago.they were gonna call it the M3 pickup.problem with concept cars though is most of them never make it to production

I'd buy it in a heartbeat. The rear axle is where it is to keep the wheelbase the same as the SUV...which would reduce production costs. That thing would be about perfect for my lifestyle.

The virtual wheelbase is significantly longer than the E70. Notice that the rear door has a vertical rear edge ahead of the wheel arch. On the E70, the rear edge of the rear door is close to the rear wheel centreline. Also look at the extended rear overhang.

Pretty easy to do when you are using a stretch command in photoshop though.
