The latest addition to the long running series of BMW art cars is this Z4. Unlike previous art cars where the machine was the canvas, the z4 you see above was actually used as the paint brush. When BMW unveiled the new 2009 Z4 at the Detroit Auto Show, they showed a video of artist Robin Rhodes creating a massive painting using a Z4 with its wheels dripping with red and green paint. For the last two weeks, the car and two of the painted panels have been on display with several of the earlier art cars at Grand Central Station, but they've now been moved into the Jacob Javits Center for the New York Auto Show. We were walking by this morning and thought you might enjoy some car art with your coffee. Check out photos of Z4 art car in our high-res gallery below.

If that qualifies as a art car, you should see my car at the end of a Toronto winter...

The level of artistic ingenuity here is simply staggering. Picasso and Dali ain't got sh&t on this one.
Yeah... barftastic.

I love the grille on the Z4 - it reminds me of a hammerhead shark

"thought you might enjoy some car art with your coffee."
Hideous car, tasteless art, and a waste of canvas and paint.
I'll be having lunch with my client at a steakhouse today, but you just ruined my appetite.

The updated Z4 looks amazing! Also, they made an iphone app based on this car paint brush idea.
