That thing, painted as is, is worth many many times what a "normal" M1 would go for, even though it probably doesn't drive.

Not lokely, it's a real Warhol and it's that paint that has them considering and or developing it for the game.

That thing, painted as is, is worth many many times what a "normal" M1 would go for, even though it probably doesn't drive.
It is from the BMW Art Car program, all were fully functional, a few of them competed in the 24 hours of Le Mans. I'm not sure if this one competed, I think it did but I can't say for sure.
After 35 year of it being in existance you'd like to object now?

I'm not objecting to it having been done or the program that produced it in fact I have seen that car IRL and found it to be pretty neat at the time. I am objecting to PD is choosing this over the standard M1 and/or If PD really feels this is necessary, why just this one and not the other sixteen "BMW Art Car" program cars as well?

I am seeing nothing indicating that the other sixteen cars from the program are being considered nor am I seeing the standard M1 is being considered. This is the only one I am seeing evidence that they are considering and that bothers me.

They are just asking a question. They haven't said that's what they are adding.

If they can do this M1, then they can also do a normal street version and the Pro version.

Curiosity killed the cat right so I should have learned something since I know the saying, but here it goes anyway. How much can something like this really "bother" someone? And why? It is still just a M1 underneath. And the game is light on some great driving Bimmers.

If they can do this M1, then they can also do a normal street version and the Pro version.
The fact they are asking means they are considering adding it.

And you have a point in that they can also do normal street version and the Pro version M1's, but BMW lacks the kind of support Nissan and Mazda have. I am under the impression that if this car makes the cut and does get developed for this game we will see the same kind of one off development we have seen demonstrated repeatedly in Gran Turismo with Cars like the GT-40, McClaren F-1 GTR, Vertigo Race Car, Lister V-12 and so on.

Curiosity killed the cat right so I should have learned something since I know the saying, but here it goes anyway. How much can something like this really "bother" someone? And why? It is still just a M1 underneath. And the game is light on some great driving Bimmers.

From where I'm sitting it looks like they are making the same mistakes over again. A thought process from the recent smurfs movie comes to mind here, they are giving us what we ask for and not what we want. Yeah, we ask for more cars...but why give us cars like this. To be honest I'd be happier if they took the lazy road and took a dozen or so race cars we already have and gave them a couple two, three unique liveries be they existing or not as opposed to one or two one off cars. I want more options not optionless cars.

This brings to mind an interesting little factoid. The fifteenth art car, we have an existing body render for it in GT-5. The fifteenth was painted on a BMW V-12 LMR...(Ironically, it literally says "Protect me from what I want" but still)



So...Why the Warhol one and not this one, or then again a question I can assume the answer to, why just the Warhol one and not all 17 of them?

The Andy Warhol car is fairly recognisable, so it makes for a good single pick.

The GT team travels extensively and they get to visit lots museums and private collections, too. I have yet to see one car from any of these collections get picked for GT outside of the current, standard ways, such as at SEMA or Pebble Beach, so I wouldn't read too much into this, just yet, nor would I be surprised if it did end up in a GT.

I guess instead of being mad that we are getting a car with a paint job I won't see when driving it in a driving game. I am looking at it and saying I would love to get serious seat time in a real M1 but at least this really good driving game is going to let me have a crack at it.

I am not some tree huggin' peace love cosmic karma kinda guy despite what my long hair might make you think at first. But in this case we are getting a BMW M1 a great drivers car and significant in the world of sports minded machinery. Why focus on the paint why not the car underneath the paint? The negativity just isn't worth it in my eyes when I see what we are getting.

On top of that is this speculation? Or if it is real how "soon"?

And I am I understanding this right you would rather have cars we already have in the game with different liveries than to bring in a totally new car and in this case a rather consenquential one in sports cars. From the drivers seat in a driving game  the livery means nothing. In a game focused on showing vehicles my viewpoint might be different. But then again I probably would not be having this conversation as I would not buy that game I don't think.
