I have seen the BMW clothing before, Ferrari actually has a whole line of stores in high end areas that sell clothing and apparel. I looked at a ball cap, it was 65 bucks at the one in Miami. ---

> [@Axis](#): > > I like it, but do people actually buy and wear bmw clothing? I’m absolutely amazed at the random ass places I see people wearing BMW Sauber F1 gear (that’s like 3-5 years old at this point?). I made a comment about it while at a bachelor party the other day and then within an hour we saw someone wearing some of that stuff. Love the Art Cars, definitely awesome to see in person when they were in NYC. ---

i think there is a difference between BMW gear and car brand F1 gear (sauber etc.) on our honey moon i bought my wife an authentic Ferrari jacket in Venice Italy… only car brand stuff i have other than some random nissan stuff ---

That is really cool, and I don’t just mean the ice sculptures. The Art Cars were a brilliant marketing move by BMW.
