Now I hope I don't offend any patriotic USA chaps here, but I think most will agree, that is one butt-ugly car. Why, oh why. While I fully appreciate patriotism, you have to be tasteful in these things too. I mean, the German-styled car they made during the World Cup was actually pretty slick. This on the other hand...oh well, each to their own I guess!

Apparently you can blame artist Adam Forsythe for winning this art contest.

It seems like the owner was having an acid trip when he was designing the exterior of this car..

He sobered up when he got to the interior

At least there's a story behind it. When I saw it in my M2 searching, I just assumed the dealership got a little over zealous in their national pride.

this car just depreciated all M2s by at least 10%.

I like how they still list the exterior color as "alpine white."

Needs some bright red wheels and a bald eagle hood ornament over the roundel to complete the look.

Yeah, this is embarrassing as an American. I get it, we love our heritage and flag, but come on. Maybe if they were planning to auction it off for a veteran organization like wounded warrior project or something, that would be cool. Other than that, it's just a gaudy, ridiculous looking M2, that luckily is only a wrap.

Not my can o' beer either but I do kind of appreciate it for what it is, a project a la the art cars from a different era.

It's not flattering for the curves of the car, I'll say that.

Guess that pink license plate frame just ties it all together. Ugh.

I like how the description doesn't even mention the giant elephant in the room....nothing to see here.....carry on.

Looks like someone outfitted it as a pace car or something.. Good luck selling it for $70K!

Since it's a wrap you can peal off. it's like 70k for an m2 with a roll cage and rear seat delete already, 763s, harness, upgraded steering wheel and shifter, and mperf exhaust carbon tips. Does that add up to ~15k, not sure.

It's a custom build car selling at MSRP+. It's a very particular person who would buy it.

Also, you can't just peel off wrap.. It takes time and a professional touch to do it right

Very surprised to see a dealership offering an aftermarket harness fitted from the dealer. Especially with USA liability laws lol...
