Bullet-hole [BMW](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-art-car) art is what happens when you combine assault rifles and art. I have to say, the result is pretty kickass.

This piece of [bullet-hole BMW art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness) was created in Russia, for a museum oddly enough. The museum commissioned this piece for an exhibit about 90s gang culture. The [BMW 3-Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-concept-speedtop) was the car of choice for many gangsters of that decade. Check out the gallery to see all of the shots of this badass piece of BMW art.
