BMW isn't saying exactly why it put the
M3 GT2 Art Car done by Jeff Koons atop Norway's 640-meter-high (2,112 feet) Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock), but it did. There's said to be some connection to Edvald Munch's painting
The Scream, but things are a bit fuzzy there (and Koons is American), and does there really need to be a reason anyway?
The racing coupe was on display in London during the Olympics, where BMW
was the transport sponsor, so we suppose this is one way to top the quadrennial spectacle. While it would have been much simpler and far cheaper to drag out the green screen and video workstation, or Photoshop, or a matte painter, that's not the BMW way. So the real car was driven to a landing zone and a helicopter hauled the
M3 to the top of the rock, where we suppose it can now stop
pining for the fjords.
There's a video
below with the action, and another
here that the owner won't let us embed.
