The exteriors
The main inspiration behind M Next design is BMW Turbo and BMW i8. This design is futuristic. It has the future interpretation of design elements such as low-slung, gullwing doors, silhouette having wedge shapes and color schemes.
The striking contrast of colours brings more dynamism in the BMW Vision M Next. Few crisp lines add to the real beauty. The eye-catching front has unique shapes and colors. The bonnet surface above the kidney grille looks muscular. The outer edges of the kidney grille remind us of the turbine’s air intake.
Furthermore, the color inside the kidney grille emphasizes depth. The grill is actually blanked off by transparent layers. Even the grill has some compression in design at the center. So, it highlights cars’ forward-looking expression. For the first time, BMW uses laser-wire lighting technology in BMW M Next. The triangular headlight design gives a more modern look, highlighting racing aesthetics.
The sides of the BMW M Next has rising flank lines upwards towards the rear. So, it basically highlights the forward surging power. The recycled carbon material on side skirts has a character of its own. The precise engineering of wheel gaps reduces air resistance. As a result, the wheels have less weight and maximum rigidity. The opening just in front of each wheel maximizes aerodynamics.
The BMW M Next clearly highlights how-state-of-the-art technoogy can make driving experience purer. At the same time its emotionally engaging.
