Another BMW answer to a question nobody asked. It's kind of like my X3's transmission adaptive "feature". What would be more useful is some innovation that would make the Z4 look good.

I can't wait for the 2nd generation of this idea: "Very Adaptive Geometry In N Adaptations"

Maybe this is BMW's way of keeping Bangle away from the design of their metal covered cars.
But seriously, it's a pretty cool niche idea that could have a lot of appeal to the sporty/fashionable/economy demographic that buys smart cars or minis. Think of the gas mileage.

I guess you no longer could get "keyed" which would be cool...now you just have to worry about getting "knifed" or "scissored"!!!
Can you imagine coming out from dinner to see your car naked because some ex-flame wanted to get even

This is part of BMW's long term plan to make them look more like a 911...

Does it have to be dry cleaned? What if I park out in the sun a lot, does it fade and rot?
I think Bangle should design furniture or structures,......not cars.
