2022 BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe, The 8 X Jeff Koons, 1 of 99

OVERVIEW

SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 2022 BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupé 'The 8 X Jeff Koons' showing just 22 km (14 mi) of delivery mileage on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in a hand-painted 11-color Jeff Koons design over a multi-colored cabin, this spectacular BMW Art Car is an all-time collectible.

Going back to 1975, BMW’s Art Car series has seen 19 different artists - including Andy Warhol - apply their unique creative style to famed BMW rides. This 2022 ‘8 X Jeff Koons’ is arguably one of the most stunning. 

Featuring the artist’s trademark vivid colors - 11 in total - the “POP!” and “vapor thrust” elements symbolize the power and speed of the M850i. Each 1 of the 99 built required more than 200 hours of careful exterior work - including the use of a magnifying glass - by BMW specialists. 

The eye-popping style continues inside with a multi-colored design highlighted by red and blue leather seats that evoke iconic superheroes and the BMW M colors. Though considered a collectible, this Jeff Koons-designed BMW is also a fire-breathing M850i Gran Coupe with 523 horsepower capable of sub-4-second sprints to 60.
