And why that M Art Car? For those of you who know your BMW history and facts, there have been quite a few M Art Cars (four to be precise), but the 1979 M1 was the very first M – and let's be honest, how cool is it that Andy Warhol personally painted it (he was the only artist in the series to take brush to life-size vehicle). For good measure, BMW Laval had a Valencia Orange 1 Series M Coupe parked alongside the iconic M1 – so much win in one showroom.

We can't wait to visit the showroom in a few weeks when BMW Laval will have it stocked full of Ms of all kinds – whether you're buying, browsing or just dreaming it would be well worth your time to check it out.

Thank-you to BMW Group Canada and the good folks at BMW Laval for letting us take part in their celebratory evening of firsts, and not minding the drool we left on the showroom floor next to the 1s.
