The BMW M3 art car was finished last year, but just in case you started to miss it, it is now available in a whole new set of photographs and wallpapers.

For those a bit more informed about BMW art cars, you might find this particular one a bit familiar. Just to jog your memory, look for the BMW M1 art car done in 1979 by artist Andy Warhol. The resemblance is there for a reason: Jeff Koon actually did his take as a tribute to the BMW M1.

While these might look a little better than an ordinary paint job or even a wrap, art cars actually fetch quite incredible sums of money should they ever be put up for sale. For now, let’s just enjoy the BMW M3 art car in the photo gallery put at our disposal.

And while the subject is being debated, more so called art cars keep emerging, with BMW being at their 17th unit.

This all started with Andy Warhol and his now legendary BMW M1, which was painted to represent the very high speeds Bimmers feel at home at. The latest of art cars, a very nice E92 BMW M3 GTS aims to bring a tribute to the car that started it, and artist Jeff Koons did a great job of it.

As part of the exhibit at the 2013 Art Basel Fair, the E92 BMW M3 GTS will be sitting right next to Andy Warhol’s M1, a fitting duo of past and present. “Koons wanted to design a BMW Art Car because of the tradition set forth by Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and other great American artists, that is why we are very proud to display both the Koons and the Warhol car at the same event”, stated BMW North America CEO, Ludwig Willisch.
