BMW’s M3 family has just gotten larger – there’s a fourth body variant of the form, and it’s missing a bit at the back. Or, on the flipside, think of it as the best M3 in terms of cargo carrying capability.
Yes, under the strictest secrecy, BMW’s first high-performance pickup has now been officially unveiled on April 1. The pickup was seen running around on the Nurburgring some time ago undergoing test and set-up drives, which was rather unfortunately not so secret.
Official lap times have not yet been released, but the needle in the dial vouched for a top speed of 300 kph.

It’s every bit as endowed as its siblings – the same 420 hp block gets bolted on here, with a 450 kg rear-axle load capacity to boot, ha ha. Besides the high-revving V8 engine at the front and generously sized load area behind, there’s a removable Targa roof above, so driver and passengers in the M3 Pickup can have a pickup convertible.

The kerb weight of the world’s fastest pickup undercuts that of the BMW M3 Convertible by around 50 kg, and removing the Targa roof shaves off a further 20 kg while at the same time lowering the car’s centre of gravity.
It’s the carrying ability that makes this one special. Clad in high-grade structured aluminium sheeting, the bed provides the biggest cargo capacity ever offered on a BMW M vehicle. Effectively, the M3 Pickup has the capacity to carry up to 20 standard 46-inch golf bags, surely enough for you and all your mates, who unfortunately past the lucky chap seated next to you, will have to take the bus. It’s also the first M3 variant in the 25-year-plus history of this model range to come with a trailer tow hitch.

Alas, the M3 Pickup will not be heading for the golf course or series development, but will remain an exclusive one-off earmarked for use as a workshop transport vehicle for BMW M, so it goes. So, if you were reading this and salivating at the prospect of getting a ute with a seriously wicked slant, the joke’s on you.
