BMW 'watching the pickup space closely'? Whaaa...
BIMMERPOST NEWS BMW 'watching the pickup space closely'? Whaaa... Ok, I have to file this under W T F. Luckily no BMW branded pick-ups have been spotted on the nurburgring recently This rumor is making the rounds because BMW's Australian Marketing Manager Marc Werner said the famous BMW phrase: "Never say never," ... "We're watching the space closely." Now don't forget, the Australians are famously -ute crazy and the recent E92 M3 pickup concept was an overwhelming hit with them. To be honest, it was a hit with everyone. Source: Motoring Australia |

Well people have done it at their own expense and God knows BMW are filling every single market they can. 1 series throught to 8. X1, X5's GT's, Electrics and so on. If people will buy it they'll make it. Australia is probably the number 1 market for this. China, USA, Thailand close behind...
They already make plenty of abominations in my opinion. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=m3...CNAP4Q_AUIBigB

Not really recent. The E92 M3 'ute was around years ago. I guess they must be taking it out to dust the cobwebs off.

Mercedes is doing a pick up so of course BMW has to watch the space.

I really cannot see their selling point besides "The Ultimate Luxury Pickup Truck". Who buy these trucks for luxury? Or The Ultimate Hauling Machine |

Mercedes is in such a hurry, they are using Nissan as a partner to get theirs out STAT. Tesla is going to make one as well. The Big 3 are in for a huge awakening. HUGE |
