The My Modes feature allows the driver to tailor the atmosphere in the interior entirely to their personal mood and the driving experience they want.\u00a0With the BMW iX Flow featuring E Ink, the BMW Group offers a completely new way of changing the\u00a0vehicle&#8217;s appearance in line with the driver&#8217;s aesthetic preferences, the environmental conditions, or even functional requirements. The technology thus offers unprecedented potential for personalisation in the area of exterior design, as the surface of the BMW iX Flow featuring E Ink can vary its shade at the driver\u2019s prompting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDigital experiences won&#8217;t just be limited to displays in the future.
