I saw this on the net last night.. I actually like it. But I seem to like the random cars. I don't like to blend in with every other car on the road.

And I would imagine its got a lot of power if its the M3 motor. I figure it gets good gas mileage, has tons of power, and can carry the motocross bikes wherever it needs. What else could you ask for? Oh and it seems to have a useful bed un-like the Chevy SSR.

They call it a "pick-up" in the article. Is that really the proper term for that?

Does BMW sell in Australia? Might be competition for the Holden trucklet called the Ute.

Before Pontiac was put down they were set to bring over a G8 wagon and a G8 ute based on the Holden ute.I really wanted that wagon to come (not that I could have afforded it).

So BMW is calling it an "April Fools Joke", but apparently it IS a real vehicle, not just a photochop. Details from Autoblog -->http://www.autoblog.com/2011/0...-gift/
