This car is already in the game but it would be really nice to see this paint scheme.

This is the 17th BMW Art Car, and the most recent. It is noted for its muted colors, and subtle presence. BMW Art Cars date back to 1975.

Wikipedia: Jeff Koons was the artist named to design the seventeenth in the series of BMW "Art Cars". His artwork was applied to a race-spec E92 BMW M3, and revealed to the public at The Pompidou Centre in Paris on 2 June 2010. Backed by BMW Motorsport, the car then competed at the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans in France.

BMW: This BMW M3 GT2 was aesthetically reworked by the US artist Jeff Koons and is the latest model in the BMW Art Cars series. It was unveiled to the world at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in June 2010 – to great acclaim!

The media and art magazines from all over the world carried reports on the 17th model in the Art Car series.

The car bears the racing number 79 – a tribute to the BMW M1 body work-over presented by Andy Warhol in 1979. The striking colours of Koons’ Art Car exude a boisterous sense of power, motion and energy. As with Warhol’s M1, Koons’ BMW also participated in the legendary Le Mans 24-hour race.

The graphics on this 17th Art Car are good for a top speed increase of about 15 MPH, as measured in my prolific imagination, and proven in the photos below:-

This car has no ugly profiles, and looks especially gorgeous at speed with a nicely motion-blurred background at Le Mans.

Over in the Forza community, several enterprising artists created this car's livery for players to buy, download and apply to their BMW M3 GT2 2010. I know I spent a bucketload of ingame credits for one design. That was when I discovered the extra 15 MPH.
