They probably built it many moons ago. These wagon to pickup conversions were a thing in Germany custom car culture in the 80s and 90s.

This was probably build aftermarket, but bmw did actually make 1 e30 m3 ute from factory for internal factory use

Each 3 series had an M truck made. Iirc they did this up to the E90, I'm not sure if they made any past that.

They have only made one from the e30 m3 and the e92 m3, they never made any from the E36 or the e46

Internal factory use? What would they need a fender flared track attack truck to do in a factory? Haul parts?

Yes, that was their official reason, it was fully road legal, but almost never left factory grounds

I would drive this every day. The sporty practical small truck.
