I know this isn't for everyone but I applaud the outrageous design. Very bold and to those who are lucky enough to buy one good on you, but this would be one I buy tell no one and store in the garage for resale 30 years later when you have the only one left as OG.

The background graphics are pretty nice, but the comic book splash outs are kinda weary art tropes. If you want to reference graphic novel art, it's come a long way since that Golden Age / Lichtenstein stuff. Unless it's a backhanded dig at BMW.

I am a big of Jeff Koons! If I had the means, I'd try to get one and keep it as a collector.

Why all the hate on this thread?

Well this one is….different.

It's cool in that unique limited production kind of way, but at the same time, not something I'd buy unless I was rich enough to have a massive car collection like Jay Leno or Michael Fux.

Signed by the artist. All sold?
At $350,000 it is a bargain. One of his sculptures sold for $91 million in 2019!
Would be afraid to park it at Costco. Costly shopping cart ding…

historically I have liked the one off BMW art cars but this is odd to be a production release albeit limited

and M8 mirrors on an M850i from the factory - really?

I feel like with Michael Fux would want this "fuxia" lol. Also what's with the logo on the hood.. This is some new moncler logo type sh*t on the hood.. Can never be "too big", "it's not loud enough", "everyone should know its a BMW". I bet you could see that logo from Google Earth if it was parked on the street lmao

Also aren't those B&W's? Is this car partially the reason why some members' speakers were taken off the build sheet and they were no longer offered on the configurator for the remainder of us?? I feel insulted..

Personally not a fan of the mis-matched interior… assume they didn't color match the red leather on purpose?:

This race car coulda made anything look good IMO! E92 GT2 FTW! I do like this attempt by Jeff way more! This new art car doesn't appeal to me at all. Kinda reminds me of the chicks in Hollywood clubs that have stupid tats all over that emphasize their vacuous nature.
