Well speaking of jokesters and pranks, so far the best April Fool’s joke comes from BMW with their new M3 - the world’s fastest pickup. A prototype was "caught testing" recently and BMW couldn’t even hold out until April 1st before they confirmed that it was indeed just a prank. But staying true to their powers of pranking, the German automaker still released full details on their new M3 pick-up. The M3 Pick-up is powered by a V8 engine and features a generously sized load area in the back and a removable Targa roof. The pick-up, which is only 110 lbs heavier than the convertible M3, offers a maximum load capacity of 992 lbs. The best part? The M3 pickup can hit a top speed of 186 mph (as a reminder, all of the other M3 models are limited to 155 mph). The official BMW statement states: "the BMW M3 Pickup will not be heading for the golf course or series development, but will retain its status as an exclusive one-off. It is earmarked for use as a workshop transport vehicle for BMW M GmbH. With this in mind, the current BMW M3 Pickup – unlike a similar predecessor built back in the 1980s – has gone through the requisite procedures to earn its road certification. Which makes it officially a truck – but one that puts a whole new spin on the meaning of the word." The idea behind this is absolutely fascinating and just the sheer curiosity of it all would have made this the best April Fool’s joke ever, had BMW lasted long enough to make it to April 1st. .
19 comments: BMW M3 Pickup This M3 Pickup really looks so cool on its platform and with its very neat appearance. I’m also glad that BMW used an impressive and an efficient engine specification for this truck.
 BM3 M3 Pickup is one of the most sensational trucks that I saw nowadays! Congratulations  well, for sure, on its simple but stunning appearance it will surely can captivate lots of attention.
 What a cute pickup car! The removable targa roof really impressed me a lot, I must say that this is the first versatile pickup car that I saw nowadays, and I’m so impressed with its powerful engine even on its hygienic body paint.
 Hehehe! It has been almost two months since I saw this, but I still can’t get over it. Imagine that, if this one was true, it would be useful if you have this one at home.
 If ever i don’t like the concept of this car. I really won’t to see this car hold any golf equipment.
 somehow BMW has remained to have some dignity and not run by red necks that would drive a pick up, thank is exactly why they are calling this a joke they’ll leave that up to ford and cheve to sell invicil cars
 Not a bad idea after all! I think for a change, why don’t the BMW make a truck version since they are already long in the industry of the car making why not try make new concept 
 hmm. Why not? I think this car looks good and the concept is not that hideous! I agree that who knows that one of this day we could see this car in the road.
