This THE 8 X JEFF KOONS G16 is now offered in California on dealer consignment at no reserve with a letter and certificate of authenticity, manufacturer’s literature, two key fobs, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Montana title in the name of an LLC.
The exterior features a graphic design by Jeff Koons, combining eleven different colors requiring eleven stages and 285 hours per car to apply. Geometric lines reflect the car’s contours, while the exploding lines at the rear are an homage to Koons’ 2010 M3 GT2 Art Car that raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The “POP!” and “vapor thrust” imagery are meant to symbolize power and speed, while the blue reminds Koons of the vastness of space. Features include a panoramic sunroof, a chin spoiler, front and rear fender vents, power-folding and heated side mirrors, and Shadowline trim. Badging consists of BMW roundels at the front and rear and a single M emblem on the black grille.
Style 728M 20″ V-spoke wheels are wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 run-flat tires. The car’s Adaptive M Suspension Pro features Active Roll Stabilization, and additional driving aids include stability and traction control. Braking is provided by four-wheel ventilated discs with red calipers, Dynamic Brake Control, and Cornering Brake Control.
The heated front and rear seats are upholstered in red and blue leather. Amenities consist of Live Cockpit Pro with navigation and head-up display, a Bowers & Wilkins audio system, wireless phone charging, four-zone automatic climate control, and a cupholder lid with edition badging and Jeff Koons’ signature in Bavarian Blue. Additional features include remote start, heated armrests, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
The heated multifunction M steering wheel fronts a configurable digital instrument panel and a central information display that can be operated through voice or iDrive controller. The optional Driving Assistance Package includes parking assistance and distance controls, along with blind spot detection and 3D views. The Drivers Assistance Pro Package adds steering, lane keeping, and lane-changing assistance, as well as Evasion Aid. The digital odometer indicates 17 miles.
