“The what?”
Yeah, that was my reaction, too. As a fan of these pages, of course you’ll know that BMW has a long history of pairing with famous artists, but I have to admit that Futura 2000 was not on my radar. That’s Leonard Hilton McGurr, an American graffiti artist, who has dropped the 2000 since…well, maybe because we’re 23 years beyond Y2K. In any event, BMW employed the artist to design three special M2 Competition Coupes for the 2000 show circuit, and 500 special M2s were produced to commemorate that. What did you get? Essentially, these were stock all-black M2 Competitions that had the artist’s flair applied to the lower bodywork and interior trim. As these cars go, these are about as tame as you can get. The price? It’ll have you checking the calendar to see if it’s still April Fool’s Day…
