A custom BMW M4 Competition xDrive pickup is drawing attention after appearing for sale on Bring a Trailer. Built from a 2022 BMW M4 Competition xDrive, the one-of-a-kind conversion transforms the high-performance coupe into a pickup while retaining many of its original performance and technology features.
2022 BMW M4 Competition xDrive Converted Into a Pickup
Interest in compact pickup trucks has grown with recent discussions surrounding Slate and Ford, but some enthusiasts have taken a different approach by converting passenger cars into pickups. One example is this 2022 BMW M4 Competition xDrive, which now features a custom cargo bed.
According to the Bring a Trailer listing, the conversion was completed by DinMann in Los Angeles. The project required cutting the factory carbon-fiber roof while fabricating a custom pickup bed and a rear bulkhead behind the cabin.
Known as the “M4Maloo,” a reference to the Holden Maloo ute, the vehicle was previously displayed at SEMA wearing a metallic blue wrap. That wrap has since been removed, revealing the original Brooklyn Gray Metallic exterior finish.
Extensive Exterior and Performance Modifications
Beyond the pickup conversion, the vehicle features a range of aftermarket upgrades. These include a carbon-fiber grille, front lip, rear diffuser, side skirts, and widened fenders with an additional pair of vents positioned above the wheel arches.
The pickup rides on lowering springs and M Performance forged alloy wheels measuring 19 inches in the front and 20 inches in the rear.
Power comes from the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, which has been upgraded with aftermarket turbochargers, an aftermarket intake manifold, and an aftermarket exhaust system. The listing does not specify the engine’s output after the modifications beyond the factory rating of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque.
The vehicle retains the eight-speed automatic transmission that was standard on the Competition xDrive during its debut model year, along with a limited-slip rear differential.
Interior Retains Factory Technology
The cabin remains largely unchanged aside from a carbon-fiber steering wheel. The vehicle was originally equipped with Fiona Red seats and matching door-panel trim, contrasting with the Brooklyn Gray Metallic exterior.
Factory equipment remains in place, including a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, head-up display, Harman Kardon audio system, and gesture control.
Original Driver Assistance Features Remain Functional
According to the listing, the pickup conversion does not interfere with the factory Park Distance Control parking sensors, surround-view camera system, or adaptive cruise control.
The rear parking sensor locations remain visible in the rear bumper, while the conversion also preserves rearview camera functionality despite the addition of a tailgate to a vehicle that was not originally designed as a pickup.
BMW’s History of Pickup Conversions
The article notes that BMW has previously experimented with pickup conversions dating back to the 1960s. The automaker also created an E92 M3 pickup when that generation of the M3 was new, and later produced the one-off M3 Touring GT3 race car.
This custom BMW M4 Competition xDrive pickup combines extensive body modifications with retained factory technology and performance features, making it a unique example now available through a Bring a Trailer listing.
