It is hard choosing a BMW to paint,there are so many nice ones,so i restricted my choice to works cars with the famous white,blue,red colors.

DAY FORTY-FOUR

BMW F1, acrylic on paper 5x8" sold

BMW Sauber is keeping up with Mclaren and Ferrari in testing,

they must be doing something right that Honda and Toyota are not...

There was a little discussion about the look of the cars at formula1latest.com

i think the BMW looks boring,i like exciting liveries and think the old BMW cars looked a lot better,I feel a series coming up this week...some BMW "werks" teams...F2,touring cars and such...
