Fictitious BMW X4 Pickup Could Rival The Mercedes X-Class

While Mercedes’ pickup truck has already been confirmed, its Munich archival BMW hasn’t followed suit – at least not yet.

The X-Class is a tentative name, since there is no official word on what badge the Navara NP300-based truck will be called (some have suggested GLT), but we do know that it will mark a first for the German automaker. If Merc is going down that way and is successful, them maybe BMW (or Audi) could consider a rival.

So, if we were to think one up, as Theophilus Chin did here, should it look anything like this X4 pickup? Keep in mind the only Bimmer with a truck bed we’ve seen has been this El Camino-styled M3 that somebody built a few years back – based on BMW’s elaborate April Fool’s joke from 2011.

The carmaker brandishing the Ultimate Driving Machine as its motto rolling out a pickup; you must be joking! Well, going front-wheel drive or turbocharging the M Division models was once out of the question, but now they are in BMW’s dealerships. This, however, would cause quite an upheaval. Good thing then it’s just a rendering.
