I might know the seller of the E34 pick up cos I recognise the garages (about a mile or 2 from my house) They are good lads, love their cars and had plenty of E30's between them some I see some Zoners now own.

These guys do it properly when it comes to cars and I'm sure that E34 was done because "they can" lol

:D

Agree with Alex though, that E30 is an outright FAIL

E30s are sketchy enough with the back end kicking out. Imagine what it would be like in a pick up??

Must be pretty practical though! (when finished of course) :mad:

All of the above aside - if you are tall and you need the seat back on the last notch with the back reclined - can you still fit in one of these?

I think if I had to and I mean HAD to take one of these I think I'd go for the E34 - does that make me a bad person??

Hell no! The E30 is far too classy and iconic to be bastardised!

I'm with you on the E34 :D

e35 has a much better size and shape for pickupness.
its almost a shame they never did one, but that would be far to tasteless for a rather up there own arse bmw.

one thing though is both of them now need a BIVA which they have no hope of passing. not least as there is no passinger car derived comercial section on the IVA.

this is why a lot of these projects are getting sold right now. buy severely at your own risk.



now that said lets get the fuckers that caused the problem out of power and we can all have sweet utes again.
