While we're no strangers to regular sedan or coupe model being butchered into pickup trucks, there are some conversions that literally beg to de destroyed.

One such example was found at German used car dealership "PKWundLKWankauf" (try saying that it twice).

The victim is an E32 BMW 730i sedan, which left the Munich brand's factory in 1989 fitted with an 188HP 3.0-liter straight six coupled to a 5-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels.

For the past few decades, BMW's Individual customization division has been catering to the needs of the Bavarian firm's more affluent clientele that are willing to dig a little bit deeper into their pockets to personalize their vehicles.

The firm's Individual workshop promises to fulfill almost any wishes as long as they comply with safety requirements and legal stipulations.

And while one client's request to base all colors used on an M6 Coupe around a Hawaiian Koawood trim worked out nicely (see video here), we can't say the same for the lamb wool floor mats found on a 2008 7-Series or the custom fabric interior trim on the 1992 7-Series.
