The celebration event showcased the future of the company in the form of the BMW Vision Next 100 unveiling. The stunning concept features a futuristic shell adorned with narrow signature 'kidney grills' up front, reminiscent of some of the older classics, along with a pair of slender vertical headlamps on either side. The car has been designed based on an amalgamation of sportiness derived from coupes and elegance from sedans. The driver-centric car is highly customisable and is tailored to adapt to the changing requirements of the driver.
