Went to this yesterday, Was brilliant for free and they even gave you a proper book/progamme thing that usually with this stuff you would expect to pay for.
Very worth it if you're passing by
 
I saw a couple of these in the BMW Museum, here's one of them:

Must try to go and see them. :)
 
i have seen a couple of these before. cant remember the artists name who had painted them, i was quite impressed. Its a shame i have no excuse to visit this before its over :(
 
It is so wide! the cool thing is that they are proper race cars all stripped out with GI-Normous calipers and slicks etc so just look awesome.
Makes me want a widebody 3 series so bad..
 
1) V12 LMR by Jenny Holzer
2) 3.0 CSL by Alexander Calder
3) 535i by Matazo Kayama
4) 730i by Cesar Manrique
5) 3.0 CSL by Frank Stella
6) 320 CSi by Roy Lichtenstein
7) M1 by Andy Warhol
8) 635 CSi by Robert Rauschenberg
9) M3 by M.J. Nelson
10) M3 by Ken Done
11) 525i by Ester Mahlangu
12) 850 CSi by David Hockney
13) Z1 by A.R. Penck
14) 3 Series Race Car by Sandro Chia
15) 635 CSi by Ernst Fuchs
16) M3 GT2 by Jeff Koons

^ That's the full listing. It's all very cool stuff - they are all race prepped cars. The GT2 was actually raced at Le Mans too.

The Warhol M1 was painted by him in 23 minutes.
 
I saw the GT2 car at Le Mans in 2010 and they had a number of other BMW art cars on their display that you didn't snap (or might not have been there in the east end). They really ought to have made production M3's like that! I don't think it finished though, sadly.
