My own BMW Design - A copyright issue?

hello friends, recently i uploaded a poster design i made and was approved for sale. Now i’m checking my store and i’m surprised to see the design is rejected for copyright reasons. Here’s the design (it was optimized after it was posted on IG, but this is basically it.): https://www.instagram.com/p/B4VQ08RgU4R/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
I’m boggled because the design does not have any company logos and is completely original, and because it was initially approved.
it’s worth mentioning there are other car-related products on sale that even contain brand logos and names.
What did i do wrong here? and how can i avoid this happening again?
thank you in advance.

… beside the pretty obvious BMW grille perhaps and the general look of an M1. :slight_smile: And I’d bet this picture

was the original source for your design.

Best practice is to do your own car designs, to avoid derivative work, and to not use other people’s pictures as source for 1:1 copies.
