Well the illiterate, poorly-grammared reply from Sean, above, says it all. If you like it, good for you. The BMW (or any other prestige car) was never meant for you anyway. Stick to your Ford or Holden. If you dont, you are like the millions of people out there who see this as an abomination of years of design development and rich brand heritage.

i don’t believe someone can be so stupid to do this. i mean he got the car, he drove it for a while and thought what i need is a pick up tuck because it drives better and looks better also it shows my respect to the M so i will make it one. btw have u posted this in any M5 forum??? i bet a hit-man will pay the owner a visit to shove his sandals in his mouth. lol…

For everyone who says this is tasteless waste of an M5 – I am the worlds most stalwart BMW enthusiast. I am private school born & raised. My father is old money english born aristocracy. I believe I have a valid opinion of what constitues good taste. This car is beautifully executed and is a work of art. The only thing that bites me is the bonnet vents. Wonderfully executed and brilliantly engineered it is truly unique. I tip my top hat to Stuart for what he has commissioned. Well done I love it.

Well done Appleby, that’s awesome, geat job, brilliant! Can’t believe BMW don’t offer an M5 ute and that a man has to go and build his own. Silly Germans.

And as for all the critics, particularly that salesman fella that lives and breathes and sells Korean cars (do you reckon he lies awake at night depressed about his wasted life?), jealousy is a curse!

Bravo Appleby!!

I forgot to mention, the http://www.m5ute.com site is usually updated monthly so I’m guessing it might have some newer pics of it finished in the next week odd?
I looked on the SRC site http://www.southernrodcustom.com and didn’t see anything real new.
Gotta say that guy’d got some nice builds going.

I’ve been watching this build for well over a year.
I was very much thinking “what the hell”
But when he made a web site about the build http://www.m5ute.com I started to watch it.
The time and effort the shop has put in this is of the highest level.
I guess if your going to do something this different then it better be done 100% correctly.
If you do “M5 ute” You Tube search you’ll get more stuff on the stages of the build and I just found a bit of it finished and starting up.

The quarter glass and rear was a totally custom nothing from the Holden parts bin.

i broke my ban on here seeing you guys have forgiven them, i will too…. so i will post on here again!!

Its very slow BM!

I think what appeals to me is how close it is to being OEM spec, the fact it hasnt got gullwing doors or anything really appeals to me, its my kind of custom!!

Unfortunately I can’t see BMW building a M3 or M5 ute.
However; if he was going to make a truly unique one off vehicle then he should’ve added either Gull-wing Doors; Suicide Doors; or even Doors like on the Ford GT-40
