Michael Jagamara Nelson BMW E30 M3 Art Car #7 (1989), side view

Michael Jagamara Nelson's Aboriginal dreaming painted on an E30 M3.

Australian artist Michael Jagamara Nelson applied traditional Papunya Tula dot-painting to an E30 M3, depicting elements of the Dreaming - kangaroos, ant hills and possum tracks - in earthy ochres. He hand-painted the design in Munich over roughly six weeks. It was the first Art Car by an Aboriginal Australian artist.
