In 2008, BMW commissioned Robin Rhode to capture the 'joy and spontaneous emotion of the Z4 drive using the vehicle as a paintbrush.' This tile was taken from the 100 x 200 foot section of canvas upon which Rhode created his masterpiece, using hydraulically powered dispensers mounted inside the wheel wells to spray each tire with precise amounts of paint as the Z4 drove across and 'painted' the canvas.
