The iX Flow concept was supposed to be the world's first color-changing car. The special version of the iX electric crossover was able to switch between white, black, and gray.
It's time to upgrade to actual colors.
The upgrade will be real colors for 2023.
The i Vision Dee is an electric sports sedan concept that BMW showed off at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The full-color version of the E Ink technology was seen on last year's concept.
The i Vision Dee can change colors on its own. There are now 32 different colors to choose from. All of the e-paper segments can be controlled individually. The i Vision Dee can change to one solid color or light show.
BMW said in a statement that it allows an almost infinite variety of patterns to be generated.
Dee made her color-changing debut during the keynote at the Consumer Electronics Show. It was necessary for you to be there. This film shows how Dee's advanced features work.
The technology used by the US-based E Ink Corporation is used in BMW's concepts. When electricity is applied, the film coating on the car changes in color. BMW says that E Ink is unique to the automotive sector, developed and programmed by in-house engineers.

This concept uses the latest technology from E Ink and is meant to be low on power consumption. Industrial design applications can be endless due to the fact that Prism 3 can be made in any shape.
The display technology of E Ink is bistable and ultra-low power. E Ink is enabling its partners to disrupt industries through sustainable technologies and has been integrated into everything from eReaders to cell phones to medical Wearables.
The e-paper segments were used to create facial expressions on the wheels and grille.
Will color shifting BMWs ever be produced? It is an in-house R&D project that has attracted a lot of attention inside and outside the company. The brains behind the project have been working on the e-paper since last year's Consumer Electronics Show.
They are working on making the e-paper panels stronger and more resistant to things like flying insects. The panels on the iX Flow are nonfunctional due to road damage. The team wants to make a spray that can be applied to body panels more quickly, but that is a long way off. The costs may be lower than you think.
It's anyone's guess. If BMW can go from black and white to dazzling rainbow displays in just a year, then E Ink might be the next must-have option for anyone wanting to really show off in their M3.
