Just when you thought the XM couldn’t be any more striking–and not necessarily for the good reasons–here comes this one-of-a-kind gadget. BMW and Naomi Campbell collaborated to produce a divisive iteration of the flagship M model. How come purple? The supermodel adores that shade of blue. Domagoj Dukec, the main designer of the company, posted pictures of the aggressive-looking sports SUV on Instagram.

BMW has already utilised cloth on the body of a car. The Gina Light Visionary Model from 2008 included a metal frame covered in a sturdy fabric material. That notion, with its shape-shifting body and elastic material that covered the awkward panel gaps, was maybe more appealing than the XM.
Based on the Z8, the roofless two-seater sports car from the Bangle era is pictured at the bottom. It featured a flexible fabric surface. It had movable rear spoiler and butterfly doors on the back. The Gina was able to successfully modify its shape because to hydraulic and electric actuators installed on the aluminium wire structure beneath the skin.
The German luxury manufacturer has made it somewhat of a habit to modify a car’s body in unique ways. A super-dark X6 with a Vantablack VBx2 coating that could absorb more than 99 percent of light was unveiled in 2019. The iX Flow received E Ink technology later in 2022, which included millions of tiny capsules as thick as human hair that could show grayscale. A year later, an improved version of E Ink with 32 changeable colours used over 240 body segments of the vehicle had been integrated into the i Vision Dee idea.
