The exhibition lasts about 3 months but Dutch Youngtimer Magazine had a special event with a guided tour, giving you more technical and artistic backgrounds on the cars. They requested me to bring the Alpina Roadster S (because rare youngtimer) so that's what I brought.
Gladly, forum member Remy held up the E21 honours
Opening of the guided tour
Woops there it is!
I had seen the E21 Art Car on several occasions already, but I never had this much time and space so I was happy with this opportunity to take a lot of photos!
The Andy Warhol M1 was there too, but there was a good reason to rush it to Pebble Beach a few days earlier:
The newest addition to the National Historic Vehicle Register: the 1979 BMW M1 painted by Andy Warhol!
Presented this Sunday at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the historic M1 will make its USA tour debut as part of BMW's celebration of both 50 years of Art Cars and of BMW North America. As part of the U.S. Tour, Warhol's automotive masterpiece will travel to Washington, D.C. to be displayed on the National Mall for our annual Cars at the Capital Exhibition on September 17 – 23rd, honoring its National Register designation.
Renowned American pop artist, Andy Warhol made his mark on this M1 race car in 1979 as the 4th BMW in the company's Art Car series launch in 1975. The M1 raced in Le Mans, where it took a second in class finish, and a sixth-place finish overall with Warhol's hand laid brushstrokes adorning the angular Giorgetto Giugiaro designed body.
This vehicle is the 37th automobile to be commemorated and documented as national heritage under the National Historic Vehicle Register and U.S. Dept. of the Interior, National Park Service, Historic American Engineering Record. The photographs, line drawings, and history of this vehicle will be archived in the Library of Congress for future generations in perpetuity and recognizes the car as being historically significant.
Gladly we'd seen that one a few times already, picture below taken at the 2010 Le Mans Classic
