BMW Art Cars: in pictures

Typical. Some loon comes along, defaces a priceless BMW and they go and call it art?

But wait - before you call the Daily Mail 'Broken-Britain' hotline, this is art by BMW. Which means some classic Bee-Em machinery gets coloured by cool people in (presumably) uber-tight clothing.

The TG telly boys thought this was A Great Idea and even tried to make their very own BMW Art Car, along with some other stuff...

And as the newest BMW 'Art Car' is revealed before our very eyes (watch the new car hit Le Mans), we bring you the back catalogue.
