I just threw up a little in my mouth - BMW Pickup Concept

https://jalopnik.com/you-know-they-want-this-1836130149

It's actually real vehicle, not just an artist's render.

 

No

 

It completely defeats the purpose of a BMW. The old phrase “stick to your knitting” comes to mind.

 

But why???

 

if it has the 8 series power plant and handles like an m4 and lists for 45k im in

 

if its a Diesel im in whats the biggest size tires I can use on my BMW pickup

 

Turn signals are a $5k option

 

Meat hook abortion

 

Looks just like the ridgeline but with a BMW front end. Ooo hell naw

 

Exactly. Looks like an X5 with a bed. Just like the Ridgline is a Pilot with a bed.

 

To me the ridgeline looks just like the odyssey but with a bed.

 

Not great styling. Looks like a "car guy" developed a pick-up idea. I am curious to see where this goes, which is probably no where. The one benefit is that sometimes these designs from a luxury car maker will force design changes for better options on already establish truck manufacturers. Maybe some new cool shit will show up on the Tacoma just so Toyota can "Keep up with the Jones".

 

Maybe it is? I figure it's based on one of the 2 to save production costs.

 

Either way they are both hideous

 

that looks like a sad mall crawler princess

 

not saying it'd ever look good but probably look way better w/o the shower handles on the c-pillar

 

I'm confused why a writer for an auto blog doesn't understand why European auto makers don't build trucks for the US. I would expect him to know we tariff the shit out of those
