The E92 M3 pick up was more visually proportioned than this X7.

Like the idea, not the execution. Would be ideal for someone desiring that truck aesthetic, but not necessarily the true functionality of one.

It was, but it's hard to see this done to such a beautiful car. At least the x7 is just an suv. The e92 m3 was a work of art to my eyes.

Not bad. They should have made that handle after the C pillar Hoffmeister shaped.

Key point now could be that a large majority of luxury car owners would never buy an American car or truck.

I know tons of people who would spend 90k+ on a Tesla or European car but wouldn't even consider spending 40k on a truck, especially if it's American.
Europe maybe. And California because they thoroughly dislike America and everything American. But the rest of the US? Good luck.

I own an X5M and a Ford Superduty. By the way, a Limited trim Superduty typically costs more than a M car, just FYI.
Quite the generalization there dude. "California hating America and everything American"... It is this type of viewpoint that a majority of countries dislike Americans. I really hope this forum starts using moderators to just delete all the narrow minded name calling and such that is plaguing all the posts lately. Supposedly, we are discussing our enthusiasm for our cars... Not passing judgements.

Nice initial effort. Were I ever to buy a truck, however unlikely, I'd choose BMW over any domestic variant.

Hey, dislike and hate are two very different words. Unless, of course, you're from California.

I'm an off road guy and guys load proper dirt bikes in a truck but never adventure bikes. it's too difficult for even 2 men to push one up. But yea... the bed is short. Would have to be for a performance street truck I would think.

Why not? Can you please elaborate more on your thought? I own a BMW, Porsche, and also have a Ford F-250 King Ranch Diesel which costs me $65,000, and that's is already more than the $40K mark that you have mentioned above, so please explain.

Si tu veux continuer en français pas de problème. But I jave enough common sense to keep it in english in an English based forum, out of respect for others that don't speak other languages.

If I needed a pickup truck and it was my only vehicle or had to be a full utility vehicle this would not be on the list

I landed on your post it's not a reply😁

Once you say "pick up truck" I think utility.

I know there are graduating scales for every class of vehicle. However; BMW has built the brand on performance and " luxury "

As a result this vehicle causes a lot of confusion for BMW enthusiast.
