New to me.
I've see an E30 pickup once.

The gas cap is in an odd place.

I don't know what to make of it. It honestly looks a lot better then I expected, in a way it almost works, but I have never understood the fascination with converting cars to pickups, e36 e30 240sx etc, does it increase its utility that much? Or is it just a cool, different?

It seems like the owner of the picture is prettey utilitarian (expect the huge wheels/drop), it seems to be a 316i, even still has the rear drum brakes, so i assume it is used for MPG's and the pickup portion is actually useful?


Kind of reminds me of a Del Sol - and I hate that fake CRX



***Not my picture, pulled it from google/webs - credit given to whoever owns it.


But as previously mentioned I think that trucked compact doesn't look bad.

I like it. There seems to be quite a few BMW truck conversions in Europe. This is the first compact conversion I've seen tho.
