Fast forward to this weekend, the automaker\u2019s UK division has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qHKDJ87YGOA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">released a video<\/a> providing a peek inside the colorful cabin. As a refresher, the car is based on an M850i Gran Coupe before the 67-year-old artist works his magic.<\/p>\n<p>The multi-layer paint alone takes a whopping 285 hours to apply on each car. Speaking of which, we get to learn the BMW 8 x Jeff Koons will be strictly limited to 99 cars. Known for his pop art projects, the Pennsylvania-born artist created an intricate exterior livery with no fewer than 11 different colors. Some of the hues include blue, silver, black, and yellow. It\u2019s no wonder he says: \u201cI hope that when they see it go by they go \u2018wow\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The BMW 8 x Jeff Koons will distance itself inside from a plain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2020\/01\/08\/test-drive-bmw-m850i-gran-coupe-great-but-not-bmws-best-four-door\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">M850i<\/a> with M red and blue seats. For a brief second, we can see the cabin bathed in leather and with a striking red headliner for a greater visual impact. All vehicles will share a fancy cup holder adorned with a special badge and the creator\u2019s engraved signature.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-417683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/P90434308_highRes_jeff-koons-x-bmw-the-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"P90434308 highRes jeff koons x bmw the 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/P90434308_highRes_jeff-koons-x-bmw-the-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/P90434308_highRes_jeff-koons-x-bmw-the-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/P90434308_highRes_jeff-koons-x-bmw-the-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/P90434308_highRes_jeff-koons-x-bmw-the-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/P90434308_highRes_jeff-koons-x-bmw-the.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of P90434308 highRes jeff koons x bmw the 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-417683\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/P90434308_highRes_jeff-koons-x-bmw-the-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"P90434308 highRes jeff koons x bmw the 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/P90434308_highRes_jeff-koons-x-bmw-the-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/P90434308_highRes_jeff-koons-x-bmw-the-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/P90434308_highRes_jeff-koons-x-bmw-the-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/P90434308_highRes_jeff-koons-x-bmw-the-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/P90434308_highRes_jeff-koons-x-bmw-the.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of P90434308 highRes jeff koons x bmw the 830x553\"\/><\/p>\n<h3>LCI Or Not LCI? That Is The Question<\/h3>\n<p>The world premiere is scheduled to take place on February 17 during the 2022 Frieze Los Angeles art fair. It will be interesting to see whether the 8 Series Gran Coupe will be based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/02\/01\/2023-alpina-b8-gran-coupe-revealed\/\">recently facelifted model<\/a> or the pre-LCI M850i. BMW will take its sweet time assembling the cars as only two will be made each week. Consequently, total production will require nearly a year to complete.<\/p>\n<p>There is no word regarding pricing, but you can rest assured the BMW 8 x Jeff Koons will cost six figures. After all, the standard M850i Gran Coupe already kicks off at $99,900 in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: BMW UK \/ YouTube]<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BMW 8 x Jeff Koons\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qHKDJ87YGOA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content] ADVERTISEMENT The BMW 8 x Jeff Koons edition was announced last September before a teaser was published in January.
