ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!
Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956
Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)
Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.
These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.
1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.
4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.
The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.
The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

Bagyard Air Ride
Car belongs to Michael Burroughs, also took the pictures.
However i have a couple of issues here.
From a restoration point of view it is not original.
From an environmental point of view it is not going to last (since the paint is near gone and high risk for abuse or theft)
From a safety point view it is not going to be safe (since its modified and no safety modifications eg. roll cage)
From an Art point of view it doesnt have enough to make it look like one painted by Andy Warhole or Ken Done to name a couple which BMW does have.
I love BMW's but i think this one is a dead end and only good for the now.
Modifying it removes the classic status (as its not oem)
Modifying it removes the reliability and durability status
Painting it removes likely hood of another would be owners chances of restoring it
I dont have anything against BMW. Actualy if anything is pulled from the junkyard i think its commendable! However if its is just to be turned to a high maintenance, high risk and highly modified vehicle then in my opinion it makes pulling it from the junk yard a short lived one. It will make its way there again in no time.

Just my Opinion.
side note though, what did he modify that affects the safety? other than the broken windshield and bent a-pillar (which he didnt do himself, and wasnt intentional), nothing on that car is unsafe. there are thousands of cars on air and they only run into problems when the setup is installed or serviced wrong.
as far as the "art" comment goes, this car is certainly one of the best instances i've ever seen where a car is the subject. Art is not reserved for the big names like, as you said, andy warhol or ken done. also, many people say that a car cannot be art, but in my opinion it is the perfect medium. if you think about it, a car is a unique opportunity as people view them not only as mere appliances, but also have a personal connection to them.
the artist can take that appliance and make his statement with it and not only will it be recognized by people other than the usual art-gallery-going crowd, it will also tap into each person's connection to cars.
when you do something as outlandish as this to something normal (think warhol's campbell soup paintings), it will spark conversation and a way of thinking that wasnt there before.
