Tokyo Auto-Otaku 2015: The Cut & Sewn BMW i3

Posted on by Louis S.

Surprises are always fun (the good ones as least), most people enjoy a surprise or two, so upon landing in Tokyo and on my way out to Yodabashi Akihabara for a data sim card, i chanced upon this very uniquely decorated i3 in BMW Group Studio right next to Tokyo Station.

The artwork was a collaboration with Milk Japon, a children’s magazine. Using “cut & sewn” textile sheets to create patterns that was used as a wrap for the car.

Hopefully they kept the wrap when the car eventually got moved out of the showroom. I think it looks really fresh.

A BMW E10 & Toyota Mark II (and ex E30, E34 & E36, 944T) driver/owner. I don't really have my own garage but I thought "Garage36" sounded cool. This blog eventually evolved to document my automotive-centric trip(s) to Japan in 2010! (And 2012!) (And 2015!) (And 2017!) before evolving once again to now showcasing pretty much anything i find interesting as an auto-otaku. I also help out at the local BMW enthusiast club with writeups and testdrives too! Initially starting out on blogspot in 2010 (http://garage36.blogspot.sg/), I have shifted over to Wordpress in 2015.
