When this Texas man turned his $100,000 BMW M4 into a wild pickup truck, he sparked ferocious debate online.
YouTuber Magnacars paid a visit to content creator DinMann, who’d create a BMW M4 Ute.
Having grown up in Germany and Sweden, he was inspired by BMW’s original E30 Ute prototype.
In adulthood, he decided to try his hand at it and purchased a BMW M4 brand new to get started.
This BMW M4 was a totally different car by the time this man was done with it
If there’s one thing you can count on with YouTube channel Magnacars, it’s some truly awesome cars.
Whether it’s an abandoned movie car collection or a Fast and Furious collection in a Missouri warehouse, TJ Lamb – the channel’s host – has seen a lot of fascinating vehicles.
He himself has good taste in cars – the 1971 Rolls-Royce he got as his first car is proof of that.
In this video, he paid a visit to a man with a rather distinctive car.
This BMW M4 had been given a whole new lease of life, having only had 1,800 miles on it before it was transformed.
All in all, the conversion process took place within an intense six-week period.
The roof was removed, the interior was stripped, and the chassis was cut live on Instagram.
“It’s always been on my bucket list to do a Ute,” the creator told Lamb.
He acknowledged that this was a car that was bound to stir up strong feelings.
And based on some of the comments this Ute has earned online, he’s not wrong.
This project totally divided opinion
There were plenty of people who would count themselves as fans of this vision.
“This lowkey fire,” one person commented.
There were a lot of people who insisted this car would be a hit in Australia, which certainly rings true.
But for everyone who was taken with this Ute, there were just as many who weren’t fans.
“Just because it can be done doesn’t mean it should be done,” one critic fumed.
Add to that a ton of GIFs that involved people gagging, and you get the idea of how divisive this whole thing was.
But at least it provoked opinion and discussion, and that’s the main thing, right?
Following stints at LadBible, The Sun, The New York Post, and the Daily Mail, Ben joined the team full-time in February 2025. In his role as Senior Content Writer, his sparkling copy, the ability to sniff out a good story at 100 paces, and a GSOH quickly led to him becoming an integral and invaluable member of the writing staff.
