BMW M3 Ute Truck spotted at the Nurburgring!

BMW M3 Ute Truck spotted at the Nurburgring!

Remember the E39 M5 which had been converted to a utility truck by its owner? Well, someone has done the same to the latest BMW M3, and it’s actually none other than BMW themselves. This BMW M3 Ute was spotted at the famous Nurburgring race track, presumably undergoing suspension testing. It looks like the kind of thing which makes you look at your calendar to see if it’s the 1st of April yet!

BMW M3 Ute Truck spotted at the Nurburgring!

Apparently it’s a one-off car commissioned by a company that makes accessories for BMW Motorrad bikes. We know bikes and pick-up trucks somehow go together, but despite that flatbed I don’t think any bike could fit in there!

Look after the jump for the rest of the photos.

    There is no way on earth they could compete with the ute’s they have in DOwn Under.
    They’re so patriotic when it comes to ute’s down there lol.
    Why are there no ute’s in Malaysia?

        you;re right alifz.. the jumbuck was pretty popular in australia.. they’ve stopped selling already it as its an ageing model which doesnt meet current regulations, and seem like Proton not building another ute also.

        another intersting thing to note is that the “M boys” also built an E30 M3 ute before in the past.. its just something the guys there do on their ‘off time’. and the company encourages little projects like these.

      There are LOTS of utes in Malaysia. Hilux, Navara, Ranger.. Pickup trucks all referred as utes in Australia.

      Ute is just short for “Utility” vehicle

    I reckon it’s a test mule for the next gen M3 convertible. The disguise is quite good, to make look like a mini pick-up (or “ute” as the Aussies like to call them).

    what? finally something ugly? are you kidding? the X1 is ugly!

    but this m3, jokes aside, should be much lighter than the real one with the deletion of the rear. i wonder how much weight it sheds!

    i would buy it. not because i like it but because majority hates it.
