The BMW iX Flow is a pioneering project in a field that opens up entirely new possibilities for car design and personalisation. Match the colour of the car to your current mood? Influence the climate in the car in an energy-saving way with the right exterior colour? We are working hard to implement this technology and look forward to presenting some initial results at CES 2022.
