I,ve been looking on the net at E30 pick ups and other BMW pick ups people have done and have really found myself liking them for all the wrong reasons . There so wrong the look so right if you get my drift, makes me want to take the grinder to mine. Anyone else out there a have a love for them or even got one and some cool picks to post, or is it just me on this one?

Bear in mind that the rear bulkhead is a structural member on saloons and do your research carefully before you pick up your angle grinder!

Chevrolet do make some lovely trucks. But the best is a 3100. I just can't decide on first or second series.E30BeemerLad wrote:Coolest pickups ever = Chevy El Camino

Such a thing was destined to exist. A series of coach builders set about making a 745i E23 into an armoured, 8 wheel drive, twin engined brute with trunk mounted BMW R100 GS's, for a wealthy man of kuwait residence.
I do not know if it was ever finished, as all I have is some details on the plans, and hartge liveried mock up images.

I think they have used a standard c pillar and just cut the roof and moved the pillar forwards, well thats what i would have done if i was doing one.tonybtonyb wrote:That looks pretty coolE30BeemerLad wrote:This looks best, I'm assuming a Baur rear c pillar has been used?

This one I would imagine, is "just" a cut up 2-door with the rear windows left behind.
I'd use a Baur base. Take the canvas roof off, pick-up the back end, and you get a pick-up with a built in roll cage, and a targa roof.
Definitely cool, and the way I'd go. Would love something like this.
Currently slumming it in an E46 Touring
On second thoughts, the rear side window looks too short to be a standard 2-dr one, so yes, prob IS a Baur rear, doesn't look like they left the Targa panel in though.

Hi there is one on ebay starting £1000 
They don't make bm's like this anymore!..They should.
As Gortour said above im just starting to re-build my one, i love them, they are such a head turner, i remember when we went to pick mine up, had it on the back of a trailer and pretty much everyone stopped and watched it go past
