Wow that's hideous. Who in their right mind would purchase such a truck? This is coming from someone located in Minnesota where GMC is marketed as luxury.

This is for regions like AU/NZ where UTE's are taxed and registered differently than SUV/SAV. Many people from that area will purchase a vehicle then convert it to a UTE in order to skirt this taxation/registration.

Those tail lights are awful.
In all honesty, to me it looks like a half ass attempt that appears to have taken designers half a day of photoshop work and send off to production before getting some warm German Beer. Not a fan at all. |

Toy Truck. Will not work in my opinion. It does not look rough and tough that a truck has to be. I treat trucks roughly....but here I have to be kind on it.

If BMW wanted in on the action, they could revive Baur & get them to build this for them as a Baur Pickup to save face? That way it's technically not an official BMW model. It's a pity GM never went ahead with selling the Commodore ute in the US as a revived Chevy El Camino. Could have done pretty well - at the end of its run it could be ordered with either a 6.2L LS3 or supercharged LSA engine & can fit a couple of dirt bikes in the back.

That M5 was built by Southern Road & Custom for Australian pro golfer Stuart Appleby - not BMW. They did it properly by lengthening the M5's wheelbase by 125mm (roughly 5 inches) to give the ute the right proportions & a tray with some length.
An article showing some build photos is here: https://www.whichcar.com.au/features...e39-bmw-m5-ute |

I hope you guys aren't taking BMW's X7 truck one-off seriously... though a G06 truck concept would fix its tragic backend.

Pseudo luxury pick up trucks have been market failures in the past. Enter the 2002 Lincoln Blackwood which was a total and complete flop.. The BMW rendition has a strong "Blackwood" vibe...

My thoughts exactly. The only thing they are demonstrating here is how useless that bed is. They should have put a mini bike in the back if they wanted to pretend you could actually haul anything with it. The only justification for owning a truck is the utility aspect. Anything less than a full bed is a total waste for me.

Large sedans were still selling well back then, seems now people just can't get enough SUVs - there might be a niche there to fill. |

Center stand is ok. Lots of GS owners ship their bikes across oceans in crates on the Center stand
