very cool story

shenglin · 11-16-2012, 12:13 PM

The current 6 looks fabulous in any colour. Even if they are an artistic glamour of colours.

BimmersMania · 11-16-2012, 12:31 PM

Lots of pics. Cool!

Peahi · 11-16-2012, 12:42 PM

Crazy, I like them all!!!

v3.2mc · 11-16-2012, 12:49 PM

maybe i missed it...

who is the artist that did the 6gc?

SCOTT26 · 11-16-2012, 02:29 PM

They are in the midst of planning the next BMW Art Car which will be a BMW i vehicle , Something combining art and sustainability.

DrShimmy · 11-16-2012, 02:30 PM

I want them all! The 6 GC looks so beautiful!

nbennettksu · 11-16-2012, 03:22 PM

stunning

Whostheboss · 11-16-2012, 03:28 PM

This is insane, holy shyt.

DrivenByE30 · 11-16-2012, 04:53 PM

the 6 GC is the summum of all the Art Cars !

I dont know how it would look like in 15 years... but right now, that's the SHEET !

the old 5 and 7 series as art cars are so ugly and out dated...

the M3 race car and the LeMans are the best art cars too.

positiveions · 11-16-2012, 07:30 PM

Interesting.

GOLFFRR · 11-16-2012, 10:35 PM

Will it drive Le Mans (or other races), like previous Art Cars?

FLBMWdvr · 11-17-2012, 06:29 AM

Love the 6 GC best!

Not all Art Cars raced. The previous sustainable idea was the H2 R racer which was ...er different.

Alpine F31 · 11-17-2012, 03:18 PM

Love the diversity of the event!

Want that Ali piece!

Always been a big fan of BMW art cars!

tony20009 · 11-18-2012, 04:29 PM

Pretty cool. Too bad folks don't actually drive cars like that. It'd be nice to see something different going down the road.

Very cool !

For people who want to order your 6er like the 650i shown, the color name is: Urban Mural Metallic. For an additional $3000 you can individualize it even more with Frozen Urban Mural Metallic and in two weeks time, BMW will be unveiling a special edition 650i in that color way called the Urban Mural Performance Edition. There will be no upgrade in the power, however, there will be emblems littered all around the car mixed with carbon bits here and there. Limited to 650 copies.
