- The concept is not entering to production anytime soon and BMW will develop something similar on the lines, but in 2040.
- The new concept focuses on sustainability and luxury, with a design that uses 100 percent recyclable materials - that even includes the battery pack.
- BMW says by creating a battery using materials from the "recycling loop," and the battery achieves a much higher energy density without draining valuable resources. Speaking of the design, the i Vision Circular concept takes a radical approach to BMW's current language.
- The brand's signature kidney grilles remain, with the headlights embedded within the grille fixtures at each corner, and LED accents elsewhere on the grille.
- The windshield and roof create a single piece of glass that extends the length of the vehicle and the wheels match the headlight and grille design with slim spokes.
- The rear too adopts a similar style with a single LED light bar running the width.
- On the inside, there is a mix of unique materials called "new joining techniques" in BMW's speak. The 3D printing on the dash reduces the use of glue and creates a unique one-piece design with embedded crystal materials.
- And instead of a traditional touchscreen, the infotainment unit is located above the instrument panel at the bottom of the windshield.
- Even the lounge seats in the cabin are special as these lavender-colored buckets are made of recycled plastic, and all four of them are held within a light-gold aluminum frame.
- The steering wheel is 3D-printed using a special wood powder as well.
