Time to slap a Crying Jordan on every individual and/or dealer whose vehicle got victimized.

A convertible SUV?? Kind of like the old broncos or jeeps? That actually sounds like a niche to exploit and BMW is all about the niche market! An x3 with no roof, roll bars, and a pick up bed? Someone should autocad that up for us. Talk about ///M sacrilege though, a top less BMW pickup truck?? Of course they did make one out of an M3 to use as a shop truck for the M group and to spoof the press. I'll bet if they made it someone would buy it!

Yeah that sucks big time! I feel bad for the workers who bilt those beautiful vehicles.

Hopefully all the parts will be properly recycled and made into new cars or soda cans one day.

Land Rover is doing one and Nissan did a Murano convertible in the last generation, so it wouldn't surprise me if BMW decided to do one.

That's kind of cool. I don't want one but the bronco was neat and as long as your making SUVs and CUVs why not?
