I can't quite explain it... but I kind of like the idea because of how ridiculous it is.

I suppose I can live with the idea of hauling a lawn mower while revving a 4-litre V8 to 8400 RPM.

They already had some e30 pickups made back in the late 80s\90s.
Nice hybrids!

I thought they were going to go back to the 6cylinder for M3's??
The pickup is too weird. Save the ute's for australia and mexico.

meh, nothing too special. the aussies have been making the same thing for many years.
the Pontiac G8 is an equivalent to this. and you do get the 6.0L V8.
