  CALDER BMW ART CAR (ARTIST’S PROOF)
Ever since BMW launched its Art Car project back in 1975, artists like David Hockney and Andy Warhol have been taking their paintbrushes to rare BMWs, but it was sculptor and painter Alex- ander Calder that BMW first tapped for the project. While Calder turned a BMW 3.0 CSL into a one-off art piece, he died in 1976 before getting to drive his own. Now, BMW Group Classic and the Calder Foundation have created an Artist’s Proof version of the car, finished with Calder’s go-to colour palette and, much like the original, a 480 hp in-line six-cylinder engine.
