CES kicks off next month and it will be chock full of automotive news and BMW will reportedly use the event to introduce the iX M60 as well as a handful of trick features. Speaking of the latter, Roadshow quotes BMW as saying they’ll introduce a technology that allows the exterior color of a vehicle to be changed at the “touch of a button.” It remains unclear how this will work, but it’s an interesting idea as it would enable owners to switch colors on a whim.
The publication also says we can expect a
“cutting-edge in-car movie theater experience.” This too is a bit mysterious,
but it’s possible the automaker will turn their Curved Display into one massive
movie screen. This remains to be seen, but it seems possible as the display
consists of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment
system.
While the tech features sound conceptual,
the big news will be the introduction of the iX M60. The automaker hasn’t said
much about the model, but has previously confirmed it will be the “first
all-electric Sports Activity Vehicle from BMW M GmbH.” BMW has also said the
crossover will have over 600 hp, which is a sizable upgrade
over the 516 hp iX xDrive50. This should allow for a 0-96 km/h time of less than 4.4 seconds and we can also expect a more
aggressive exterior, which could incorporate some cues from the i4 M50.
