BMW has a history in painting some of its most iconic cars ever made in weird and wacky colour schemes: why? Why not? Actually, it's a great way to generate publicity, but it's also nice to see the sponsors' logos junked from race cars and totally wacky paint jobs applied to the road cars. And all 16 BMW Art Cars have been put together in an exhibition by the ICA. The real-life gallery is open to the public free of charge between the 21st July and the 4th August at the NCP Car Park, 35 Great Eastern Street, London. MSN Cars was there at the unveiling - here's a sneak peak.

Having a BMW as a moving canvas to show art, design and imagination. You just couldn't ask for more. I hope that BMW put these pieces of art on a transporter to show the whole of Great Britain the impact design and technology has in all our lives. Brilliant idea! Well done Jeff Koons and the gang.

Always wanted to do that to a capri. They're the best. Some good paint jobs on the beamers though too.

To MSN.

 

The barring of comment on important issues has made the MSN Homepage almost worthless now.

If all we can remark on is ineffective trivia, we will get more meaningful conversation waiting for a bus.

If MSN sees itself as just a host for inconsequential chatter, what REAL use are you ?.

You have a potential voice of a Titan, but all you do is allow whispered inanities.

You can be so much better than this.

 

Peace.
