New Zealand's modern art loving pistonheads are on tenterhooks, eagerly awaiting Wednesday's unveiling of BMW's "art cars" at the Auckland Museum. The traveling exhibit includes Bimmers modified by uber-pimpers Andy Warhol, Roy Liechtenstein, Frank Stella and Ken Done. (7er.com has the full collection here.) IMHO, BMW hasn't produced a really compelling art car since Esther Mahlangu's BMW 525i. I make this observation in the hopes that TTAC's culturally aware audience can suggest some contemporary artists who should have a bash at painting one of Chris Bangle's cubist-influenced cars. For my part. I'd like to see a Z4 tagged by Jazz83.

Without question, let's get Coop a commission.
I like RF's taste in BMW art cars.
Go to motorlegends.com , and click on art cars to see the amazing Yugo Next exhibit. Also have Ellis D's famous microbus, among other stuff.
H.R. Giger Alien car would be cool.
