    1979 BMW M1 Art Car No. 4, Andy Warhol

    Celebrated American pop artist, Andy Warhol made his mark on this M1 Procar in 1979 as the 4th BMW in the company’s Art Car series launch in 1975. BMW’s newly released flagship performance model, the M1, raced in Le Mans, where it took a second in class finish, and a sixth-place finish overall with Warhol’s hand laid brushstrokes adorning the angular Giorgetto Giugiaro designed body.
