A few days ago, BMW and artist Jeff Koons jointly cooperated to release a global limited edition of 99 8-series Gran Coupe models, BMW officially called it a walking art, and will hold an auction on April 4, BMW will sell a car, the auction amount will be donated to charity, the remaining vehicles will be shipped to the United States after the retail price of 350,995 US dollars (about 2.22 million yuan).
This is actually not the first time Jeff Koons has designed a car with BMW, which designed an M3 GT2 car for BMW in 2010. For this 8 series, officially known as the 8 X JEFF KOONS, the artist not only designed the exterior livery himself, but also processed the interior color.
Obviously, this is not a car to buy and drive, it really means a work of art, to know that for such a limited edition model, the paint spraying process alone requires 11 different stages, so each car needs hundreds of hours of spraying to complete, which leads to its price will be 250,100 US dollars (about 1.6 million yuan) higher than the ordinary version of the M850i xDrive Gran Coupe. It costs 1.6 million more to buy a color match, and the average person really can't afford to play art.
