Yes, there’s a car wrap that changes color with a remote! However, it’s not yet commercially available.
In recent years, BMW has introduced innovative concept cars with remote-controlled color-change technology, including the iX Flow and i Vision Dee.
Keep reading to explore futuristic cars that change color and pattern while you drive. Plus, I’ll share the best alternative to make your vehicle stand out.
BMW Cars Featuring Innovative E Ink Color-Change Technology for Instant Personalization
Have you ever thought of changing the color of your car wrap with just the press of a button on your smartphone?
BMW turns this idea into reality with its revolutionary concept cars featuring amazing car wrap designs:
iX Flow With a Monochromatic Palette
In 2022, world-renowned car manufacturer BMW first introduced a vehicle that changes its exterior to different colors using digitization.
- The BMW iX Flow, an all-electric Sports Activity Vehicle, boasts a specially developed body wrap equipped with millions of microcapsules containing negatively charged pigments, allowing it to alter its color to black, white, and several shades of gray.
- The electrophoretic technology brings various color pigments to the exterior through electrical signal stimulation, leading to a change in body wrap color.
- The driver simply presses a button on a smartphone app to change the color of the E Ink exterior. It’s like your car has built-in wardrobe options!
E Ink is an incredibly energy-efficient technology requiring no energy to maintain the driver’s chosen shade.
i Vision Dee With 32 Color Options
The following year, BMW shared its vision of a futuristic mid-size sedan with much better color-change technology.
It’s the first time worldwide that full-color E Ink technology will be used as a car’s exterior.
- The BMW i Vision Dee (Digital Emotional Experience) shifts between 32 colors using 240 E Ink segments.
- The vehicle’s body features a multicolored and individually configurable body made with ePaper film, allowing endless generation of pattern choices in just seconds.
While the remote-controlled color-change technology remains in the conceptual and prototype stages, BMW plans to introduce this feature into production models in the coming years.
Color-Shifting Car Wrap
So, what’s the next best thing if you want a stunning, color-shifting look for your car?
Color-changing car wraps, also called iridescent or chameleon car wraps, are an excellent option.
They’re eye-catching wraps that change color depending on the movement, lighting, and angle, creating a dynamic appearance.
Chameleon wraps feature layers of vinyl films with special pigments that create a color-changing effect. Your car will look like its appearance is ever-changing, even while parked!
Capture attention with these popular chameleon car wrap colors:
- Blue to deep purple for a sleek, futuristic aesthetic
- Silver to blue for a modern vibe
- Red to orange for a bold, fiery look
- Green to gold for an elegant appeal
- Glossy pearl white for subtle sophistication
Color shift wraps are available in a wide range of designs, finishes, and shades, whether you want a hyper-glossy finish, a smooth matte black wrap, or a mesmerizing holographic rainbow effect.
