Since 1975, the BMW Art Car program has brought us nearly two dozen unique perspectives on blending the automotive and the artistic. The influence and draw of the program is undeniable. It\u2019s inspired everything from highly collectible miniature models to wraps on street-going models. With the next BMW Art Car debuting in just a couple of months \u2013 the BMW M Hybrid V8 designed with Julie Mehretu<\/a> \u2013 we decided to take a look back at some of the most unforgettable and inspiring BMW Art Cars over the last 49 years.<\/p>\n

Andy Warhol\u2019s BMW M1 Group 4 Race Version<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was only the fourth-ever Art Car, but it\u2019s certainly one of the most historic. How could you go wrong when you pair one of the most interesting artistic figures of the 20th century with the awesome style of the BMW M1? Though the vehicle only raced in one race \u2013 the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans \u2013 it finished sixth overall and second in class.<\/p>\n

Warhol was an obvious choice for an early Art Car artist. He had already established a career of finding inspiration in non-traditional objects (i.e., soup cans). It tracks, therefore, that he was the first artist to paint everything himself instead of using a scaled-down example and a team of assistants. He did so quickly, too \u2013 applying over 13 pounds (six kilograms) of paint in under 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

C\u00e9sar Manrique\u2019s BMW 730i<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

BMW Art Car number 10 was a colorful one handled by Spanish avant-garde artist C\u00e9sar Manrique. Manrique \u2013 an accomplished architect, graphic designer, and sculptor \u2013 sought to blend technology and nature in his Art Car. He collaborated with artist and race car driver Walter Maurer, who also assisted Warhol, Stella, and others with their Art Car designs.<\/p>\n

Since Manrique\u2019s design was applied to a road-going car, there isn\u2019t a long list of accolades to bestow. But the design clearly illustrates his inspiration \u2013 the Spanish subtropical island of Lanzarote. Manrique\u2019s steadfast dedication to mobility and sustainability makes his design one that continues to be relevant to the world \u2013 and brand \u2013 even 30 years later.<\/p>\n

Jenny Holzer\u2019s BMW V12 LMR<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Arriving right before the turn of the millennium, the fifteenth Art Car had to be evocative. Dubbed \u201cProtect Me From What I Want,\u201d Jenny Holzer\u2019s V12 LMR featured thought-provoking \u2013 and on-brand \u2013 phrases on simple white paint. Some of these could\u2019ve been written by BMW\u2019s PR department themselves, like \u201clack of charisma can be fatal\u201d and \u201cthe unattainable is invariably attractive.\u201d The Art Car raced in Petit Le Mans, finishing 5th place. Overall, the V12 LMR program had a moderately successful racing career, seeing 18 races and celebrating seven wins.<\/p>\n

Jeff Koons\u2019 BMW M3 GT2<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe, but this iconic Art Car is now over 15 years old. But Koons\u2019 interest in designing an art car goes back even further, to an interview in 2003. Koons collected images of race cars, speed, and explosions when considering his Art Car design. \u201cThere is a lot of power under that hood and I want to let my ideas transcend with the car \u2013 it\u2019s really to connect with that power,\u201d he said. He even hopped into a car at Sebring to get a firsthand experience of the race car.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

During the 2010 Le Mans race, the car wore the number 79 as a tribute to the Warhol M1 that raced in 1979. It completed 53 laps before being retired due to technical issues. Koons later tried his hand at the BMW 8 Series \u2013 dubbed \u201cThe 8 x Jeff Koons\u201d \u2013 which featured a design influenced by his Art Car. It commanded an MSRP of $350,000.<\/p>\n

Alexander Calder\u2019s BMW 3.0 CSL<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t talk about Art Cars without mentioning the vehicle that started it all. In 1975, Alexander Calder \u2013 fresh off painting an airplane in 1973 \u2013 finished one of his grandest and final projects before his death in November 1976. While this Art Car did compete, it finished only seven hours of the 1975 Le Mans 24 Hours, retiring due to a damaged driveshaft.<\/p>\n

Calder was friendly with the man who originally pitched the Art Car program, Herve Poulain. Poulain, in fact, raced this exact vehicle in Le Mans. As he did with his mobiles and sculptures, Calder used vivid colors and curvaceous shapes liberally. The results speak for themselves \u2013 even nearly five decades later.<\/p>\n

What Are Your Favorite Art Cars?<\/h2>\n

While it\u2019s hard to narrow down to just five, these are certainly some of the most important of the 19 (soon twenty) official Art Cars. We eagerly look forward to what Julie Mehretu cooks up for the BMW M Hybrid V8. Which ones are your favorite?<\/p>\n
