BMW Color-Changing Car- iX Flow SUV

In 2022, BMW introduced its first-ever color-changing car iX Flow SUV. It was BMW’s first version of the E-Ink technology with only two electrically charged colors; black and white.

BMW’s i Vision Dee

The new concept car “I Vision Dee”, is an electric sports sedan with color-changing panels. Dee stands for “Digital Emotional Experience” as the new car follows the same color-changing technology but in a wider range. In BMW’s previous design, you had only two choices of black and white color, but this new model is designed with a wider range of colors like a rainbow.

In 2023, BMW showcased this new concept car stating it the “ First Color Chnaging Car” that can cycle between 32 colors with just a button press. 32 colors… Sounds a jaw-dropping magic! Doesn’t It? It has the same E-Ink technology with 240-panel segments allowing you to change the exterior color of the car according to mood.

This version includes ultra-modern features like a wide dashboard covering the whole windshield, a touchscreen, and a Reality Slider. The comfort and ease of these color-changing models make you feel at home.

Eco & Energy Efficient

How is it possible to leave the environment behind while working on comfort? With all the futuristic technical and artistic features BMW color-changing cars are both eco and energy-friendly. Under a hot sun, you can change the exterior color from black to white as white reflects the sunlight and helps in a cooler interior by reducing the energy of the airconditioner inside.

Similarly, imagine you are driving in cooler weather, by switching to a black or darker color you can feel the noticeable warmth absorbed by the exterior color of the car. The E-Ink exterior color-changing technique is energy-efficient as it does not need continuous electricity to maintain the color-changing process. It draws electricity or power only by changing the basic color not by maintaining it.
