This is Extremo the clown's car, I saw it on TV and I found the site...

It's an '85 626 with RX-7 N/A rims, and, well, this big working fountain!

Back in the 90's 80's and 70's, BMW made art cars.

They're pretty wild (and mild, compaired to that Mazda)
 
LOL, well atleast the BMW art cars look cool and don't abuse the car like that 626(that thing on there probably weighs 300LBS, then add all that other stuff...
 
I passed one while I was driving home from work a couple of years ago, then I saw it in Smiothsonian magazine. It was a mid-70s Dodge van with thousands of cameras attached all over the body. Totally covered. I read later that some are functional and the guy can take snapshots and video by remote control while he's driving.

The other day I was out for a walk with my family, and we saw an 80s Taurus wagon that was all arted up. It was paved with beads all over it, and had hundreds of little plastic souvenir figures all over it, doing weird stuff. There was also a whole jungle of plastic plants and stuff on the roof.
 
I remember seeing that 850i, in I think R&T, years and years ago, heh. Poor car, I feel sorry for it :P, such a beautiful machine, in "normal" paint, hehe. I was very surprised to actually see one in-person, on the highway a few weeks ago. (a normal 850i that is) The 850i was my favorite BMW for years, and without really learning about the latest stuff, I guess it still is.
