BMW M5 Ute

[nota]

mmmm i as much as the VE HSV may have improved(i think they claimed the VE not VX) it was a fairly biased review in my opinion.

You're probably thinking of a different article. The one I refer to was from somewhere back in 2000~2002

And im preety sure, correct me if im wrong it wasnt the M5 i thought it was the 530 or somethin but anyway each to his own.

See above. GTS vs M5 vs E55

If price was no issue and you wanted a performance ute the M5 would turn a few heads i reckon.

UNfortunately price is THE issue for 99% of us mere mortals isn't it? I'm only guessing its a $200k all-up outlay, could be a lot more at the end of the day.

I wonder what those turned heads will be thinking? At those prices my brain will reckon to itself 'what a dumb idea'. So imho he's a bunny and a misguided one at that, in this obviously mega $ venture

Of course we've seen worse automotive outcomes than this - Leanne Edelstone's pink Countach is one. But gee .. what you or I could get with that much cash ..

Cant deny the maloo tray is fairly useless as well 500kg max i think

Ok Hercules try lifting your 1500cc Electra Glide over this!

I'll look up that valiant

yeah i hear what your saying nota and i do agree, i think its more the novelty of it being an M5 thats getting me.
I missed that article, i thought you were reffering to the wheels comment sometime last year stating the new VE is better than the 5 series but anyway.
200k = VS maloo in black and pocket the rest.
Just drove past a converted volvo 740 ute, looked sweet.

wow, its awsome, but sad m5

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. The most perfect BMW ever, the E39 M5 being turned into a pickup truck? Stupid with too much money

Really?

I didn't know I knew who you are for you to be stating that we are "still cool". So...who are you?

I have many admires and many fans wishing to be cool with me. I'm sorry, I'm so popular...it is impossible for me to know everyone.

I extend the white flag and "What" pisses on it? Give the 'Quail a break...

Lucky Appleby's doing this for his own benefit, not ours.
If it 'spins HIS wheels', good upon him. I'm sure he doesn't give a toss about what I drive
