And people in this forum tried to tell me (in a thread which was really popular but got deleted after a couple of days) that there is no market for a G Series Turbo FG Ute.

Our FPV ute has done about 3 trips to the tip, never carried hay bales or bags of cement so therefore must be a waste of time as a ute. I think it looks fantastic and would be a hoot to drive, very tail happy though. I love the overal look, fits in with the factory design elements of the BMW. The hard lid is awesome, carbon fibre construction and an awesome aluminium hinge set up. Where can I buy one, please Some people love the look of a hot ute (like Tori and I) even though they do not use it as one. In fact if there weren't people like us there would not be enough of a market for utes such as Pursuit/Super Pursuit/XR 8/XR 6T/XR6/SS/Maloo etc because not enough tradies buy them to make the development financially viable. The sport utes are too compromised in design and too expensive for serious commercial use, who would want to spend $65k on a ute that is going to get trashed on building sites? It's not as if the fPV utes with hard cover are so usable as a ute, can't even carry a large esky upright.

Does the build cost include the buy price of the donor vehicle?

Incredible work when you look at the build shots, no slapped together fibreglass, all metal.
$200k on top of the buy price of the M5 would equal $300-400k, not an issue to a pro golfer I suppose. At least it is more unique than yet another golfer with a Lambo.
