BMW Art Cars

I dislike BMW’s. They are cars driven mostly by yuppies and people without the burden of a soul. Most BMW drivers are horrible people, who vote Republican, like to kick puppies, and require a car that is completely devoid of a personality. In fact, the only thing I find interesting about BMW is it’s art car program. They are a great bunch of cars, from some amazing artists…and definitely worth a look.

For over 35 years, BMW has had a tradition of turning their cars into canvases for some of the greatest artists in the world. The tradition started in 1975 by French racing driver Herve Poulain, who commissioned his friend Alexander Calder, an American artist. Calder painted a BMW 3.0 CSL, which Poulain later raced in the LeMans endurance race. Interestingly, it was one of Calder’s last works before he died. Here is the complete list, in chronological order…enjoy.
