Andy Warhol Painted This BMW M1 Art Car in Just 28 Minutes

Step into the world where art meets motorsport. At Monterey Car Week 2025, we sat down with Tom Plucinsky, Head of BMW USA Classic, to talk about two of BMW’s most iconic Art Cars: Andy Warhol’s legendary 1979 BMW M1 Group 4 and the brand-new BMW M Hybrid V8 Art Car painted by Julie Mehretu.

In this exclusive interview, Tom shares the fascinating history of the BMW Art Car program, which began in the 1970s when French racing driver Hervé Poulain invited artist Alexander Calder to transform his Le Mans race car into a rolling canvas. Since then, BMW has collaborated with world-renowned artists like Roy Lichtenstein, Jeff Koons, and Andy Warhol—each bringing a unique vision to the racetrack.

Highlights include:
• The story behind Andy Warhol’s hand-painted BMW M1 Art Car, finished in under 30 minutes.
• The performance and design of the 2024 BMW M Hybrid V8 Art Car, the 20th in BMW’s history.
• How the program connects racing heritage with cultural expression.
• Tom’s personal favorite BMW Art Car from the collection.
