🏆 Paint of the Week

Community Manager Patrick selected this creative BMW M2 CS Racing from Alex Schmurtz, “inspired by the launch livery of the BMW M2 racing at the 2024 DTM season finale in Hockenheim,” as this week’s Paint of the Week. Clearly, Alex has an above-average level of patience to line up all these seams so perfectly.
