BMW’s reluctance to captures is understandable. Luxury trucks are primarily limited to the United States market, and since the Munich -based automobile company does not contain a platform for spine Persians, the development of a PickAAP from zero point to present one region will not have a financial meaning in the first place. Let’s not forget the Mercedes X category, based on Nissan Navara, which turned out to be commercial fluctuation.
However, the BMW tried the factory capacities over the years. The last effort was a concept based on X7 that was revealed in 2019, although it remained for one time. In 2011, engineers secretly built the M3 E92 with a joke from the April Fools. Go back further, and you will find the M3 E30 truck created in 1986, which was used at home until 2012. Now, a new auction hosted by Co -classic It brings to light light on all these strange creations.
It is 1965 1800 Ti from the original Neu Klasse era. According to what was reported, not only two were made for BMW for use as service cars. While the trucks are assigned by the merchant, the transfer is likely to be converted externally. When we asked BMW to check its archive, the company told us that it has no record to produce these trucks.
This sedan, which turned into Pickup Mashup, has been completely turned in good condition even after 60 years. BMW truck that has never been the M features on its white body and wearing an obstacle with a fixed cloud bar. Even the wooden dashboard has stood well, despite the age of 1800 Ti. Some weary visible, but this barely surprised for a car that was built when most of us was not born.
VIN emphasizes that it depends on 1,800 TI, with a 1.8 -liter four -engine engine modified by Alpina. On its day, the engine produced the capacity of 110 respected horsepower, sent to the rear wheels with a four -speed manual gearbox. top gear? 106 miles per hour (170 km/h). According to the list, everything works, and even the truck comes with a small set of tools, just in case.
Even if it is not built by the BMW itself, this PickAP 1800 TI definitely looks like a factory product. It only has 62,613 km (38,905 miles) at the distance meter and is now seeking to get a new owner. If you feel adventure, Co -classic It opens the bidding today and will continue until next Sunday. Looking at its scarcity, it is difficult to determine the sale price. If BMW confirmed that it was an internal building, the value is likely to rise. However, it is a wonderful piece of the history of cars, “What if” Neu Klasse truck.
