BMW hasn’t introduced a Mercedes X-Class competitor, but that doesn’t mean you can’t buy a Bimmer pickup.
According to a Redditor, there’s a camo-wrapped BMW 3-Series E90 pickup for sale in Washington. The poster didn’t say much about the luxury ute, but picture shows the model is a single cab conversion with a relatively short truck bed.
The 3-Series also has a fake ram air hood and a brush guard that looks like little more than a bent steel tube. Moving further back, we can see the original side mirrors have been replaced by some rather tacky looking units which are now mounted on the hood.

The model also lacks side skirts and features some apparently racist “KKK” badging on the front fender. Whoever modified the vehicle also kept the rear doors intact, but it remains unclear if they actually open to provide access to the truck bed.
While the truck isn’t exactly a thing of beauty, it’s far from the first BMW pickup. Back in 1986, BMW M actually built one themselves. It was created to transport parts and equipment and it remained in use for over 26 years.
More recently, BMW unveiled the “world’s first high-performance pickup” on April Fool’s Day 2011. Featuring a removable roof and a 414 hp (309 kW / 420 PS) V8 engine, BMW said the pickup would “fire the imaginations of all motorists with a deep appreciation of top performance matched by a keen practical bent.”
