Wild colors!! Oh my, where has the traditional BMW gone to from the past? Interesting times today.

Who would buy one of these?

Figures that production is limited to 2 units per week.

Seats & headliner: go ape shit Jeff, no limit

Every other interior item: here are factory colors to mix and match

TEGRITY · 02-16-2022, 05:06 PM

Felt like reading a Marvel Comic - POW!

boyerizm · 02-16-2022, 05:07 PM

Some Roy Lichtenstein vibes going on here

My reaction after seeing this abomination

hersh67 · 02-16-2022, 05:16 PM

Why couldn't they do this on the 3 or 4 Series where it belongs.

Exactly! Save the wacky nonsense for the ugly cars.

Art collectors don't bat an eye on spending a half million dollars on a painting...that will sit on a wall. This one will bring you to the jazz festival at Piedmont Park and then out for a dinner in Little Five Points.

But if I did drive one around, I'd be pretty terrified of dinging the canvas. I suspect the local MAACO shop is not equipped to rectify paint job damage on something like this.

jct_m3 · 02-16-2022, 05:33 PM

I'm sorry but 🤢🤢🤢🤢

bimmerdude90210 · 02-16-2022, 05:43 PM

I'm amazed they think they can find 99 people worldwide that are willing to pay $$ for this.. unless the next Spiderman movie needs a lot of these as stunt/crash cars...

cncmastr · 02-16-2022, 05:46 PM

I think it's pretty neat!

Al Pinã · 02-16-2022, 05:47 PM

Perfect candidate for a vinyl wrap.

RichP · 02-16-2022, 05:48 PM

This could have been so awesome but it is too overdone for 99 units. If it was toned down just a bit..

but when you marry a pornstar.. its bound to get a bit too wild.

Mavus · 02-16-2022, 05:52 PM

many shorted circuits in that head

chrisk03 · 02-16-2022, 05:59 PM

Well, that was pretty underwhelming. Interior color differences looks like chit and exterior looks like my kid put together as an NFT. The hood with emblem is ok, I guess....and get off my lawn!

farishat · 02-16-2022, 06:12 PM

Looks like a clown puked all over that car!

Coops395 · 02-16-2022, 06:17 PM

I just kinda think this guys like Colour blind and he hasn't told BMW.. they've gone.. yeah.. Jeff..looks fantastic, Guys.. has Jeff had a stroke or is he that fucking crazy?! Damn.. how many did we sign off with him?! Jeff's thinking.. at least i went safe on the interior! #crazyoldman #onsetofdementia #italllooksthesamecolour

luke1990 · 02-16-2022, 06:24 PM

God this is just awful! This is like 15 yo's first design of a car. Terrible inside and out

SAMM3Y · 02-16-2022, 06:39 PM

The e92 GT2 he did was so good. Not sure what I expected out of these eight 8 series but I'm not loving them.

FrozenGT · 02-16-2022, 06:46 PM

What next this is atrocious!
