Spied! BMW M3 Pickup Truck Runs the NürburgringPosted by Mike Levine | March 15, 2011 Photos by KGP Photography for PickupTrucks.com Update 1: March-15 2011 12:09 p.m.
Our friends at Jalopnik report this M3 ute is a one-off parts hauler for ZTechnik, BMW's motorcycle accessories arm.

In the motoring world there's perhaps no tougher test of a vehicle's power, handling and finesse than Germany's Nürburgring. The so-called "Green Hell" features almost 18 miles of track that wraps around 73 turns. It's where the world's supercars, like the Nissan GT-R and Porsche GT2, duke it out for bragging rights and smack-talking claims of who's fastest 'round "The Ring."
The Ring is also the last place you'd expect to find a pickup truck, which is why these shots of what looks to be a BMW M3 super ute are so ... um ... so ... interesting.
What is BMW up to? Could an M3-amino be headed to the lineup? Is it a one-off project car/truck? Or do the wacky engineers at BMW have cabin fever after a long, cold winter?
