Have never seen this done before.
Not sure about it, pointless or priceless?

I know I shouldn't, but I quite like that. Always had a soft spot for the Aussie Utes so probably the reason.

100% wouldn't buy it myself though smile

Why do that?

What a waste of a, probably, perfectly decent E36.

More likely a crash damaged heap.

"It seemed a good idea at the time." On the plus side, I imagine it's a bit lighter after the haircut.

ETA but lost some rigidity...

Sport bumpers, 3.2 EVO engine, uprated suspension/brakes etc that would be an awesome project hehe

Someone who wants pickup to carry things you wouldn't want to put in the boot of an estate/saloon, but does not want the stiff agricultural ride and size of the average pickup available in the UK market.

Nothing wrong with that at all.

And mine. I had a go at a bloke once - I was looking for a Ford ECU - he had a BMW one listed as "not Ford, Vauxhall etc etc" I asked him why I thought it would help him sell it to have it appearing in my Ford search - "it increases the hits" he replied, totally oblivious, the plank.

ETA - It's against eBay's "rules" too - ha ha not that they given a flying fig.

I wonder if that BWM has had a proper IVA inspection? What odds would I get down Paddy Power do you think? What chance of getting it insured legit?
