Spy photos have shown\u00a0that BMW is hard at work preparing a\u00a0facelift<\/a> for its flagship car, while retaining<\/span> the split headlights. In the meantime, it continues to pamper the current 7 Series. The luxury automaker has partnered with Korean artist Lee Kun-Yong to give the electric sedan a colorful makeover. This i7 M Performance model wears a bold wrap created for Frieze Seoul 2025, taking place September 3 to 6 in the Gangnam district.<\/p>\n

Although not an official art car per se, the M Hybrid V8<\/a> remains the latest; this i7 M70 also serves as a canvas on wheels. The 83-year-old artist adapted his \u201cBodyscape\u201d series, begun in 1976, for the stately EV with the roundel. Describing his latest work, the Sariwon-born artist said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI firmly believe that art can be the bridge between different objects, different people and even different perspectives. Through this new collaboration, I hope to create new encounters and connections through art, and I am excited to see how this link between art and technology will develop.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

BMW is once again an official partner of the Frieze Seoul art show. Last year, it marked the event with a special-edition 7 Series<\/a>, also an i7, though in xDrive60 guise rather than the hotter M70. Alongside the limited-run car at the Convention and Exhibition Center (COEX), BMW also unveiled the i7 Miniature Edition<\/a>: 14 tiny cars inspired by video games, rap album covers, and other themes.<\/p>\n

For 2025, BMW will again provide VIP shuttle service at the show. Additionally, miniatures of 18 Art cars will be on display during the event. South Korea is a major market for the brand, ranking as the BMW Group\u2019s fifth largest. In the past two years, it was the top automotive importer in the country.<\/p>\n

BMW South Korea celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Art Car series. This striking i7 M70<\/a> brings the two milestones together in fitting style.<\/p>\n
